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!!!!
