Help! I'm trapped in a Dr. Suess Book! - Read Across America Special (It is spelled Seuss.)


Today is a very special day!
Be sure to listen to what I will say.
Today is a day dedicated to reading books!
And not just any kind of things that you can read on Nooks
Dr. Suess Seuss books!
                                                     
______________________________

I seem to keep on using rhyming words
And everywhere there seems to be birds
The world around me is strange
I can only see in a limited range
                                                      
_________________________________________________________________________________

                                         Everyone has whiskers and fur
                    Can't tell whether it's a he or her
                                         I seem to be stuck inside a place
                     And the exit leaves no trace
                      I must be stuck inside a book
                           A Dr. Suess Seuss book!

                                "Oh no, oh no!
                     I am stuck on the ground real low"
                       It was a story abandoned a while
         No one reads it, but the book characters smile
                          "Pick me up! Pick me up!
                     Stop drinking coffee from a cup"
                                                          "Read me! Read me!
                         Only then can you save me
                            And I will smile with glee"
                                               
__________________________________________

                         I guess my shouting did help
                          A small kid heard me yelp
                        My face was smaller than the tip of                                        his shoe
                        He decided to open the book to page                                           two
                        
__________________________________________

                       So he read, and read, and read
                         Words were coming out of the                                       mouth on his head
                           After a while he found out
                   That he was in it and let out a shout
                               "What can I do to help you,                            small person? Give you a hand, take a                               stand? Call the police? Act like a                        geese? I promise to help you!"

_________________________________________________________________________________

                                  So I told him to reach into the page
                Inside I was no longer feeling rage
                                  The boy was helping me get out!
                   I owed him, without a doubt


                
                           Thank goodness that now I can stop rhyming! I am back in real life now.
                                 Happy Read Across America Day, and remember to read books!


BBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEE!!!!
