In another thread a couple of people seemed to toss Dr. Seuss away like stale bread.

I love Dr. Seuss and once tried to write using his rules.

Wow, I'm sorry I missed that

Wow, I'm sorry I missed that first time around. That was a very skillful piece, very hard to pull off.

It gives me an idea. I wonder if authors would like to participate in a Dr. Seuss story challenge, to write a TG themed story after the style of the famed Doctor S?

(edit: I see that's part of Melanie Ezell's Ultimate Writer's Challenge 2014!)

I never SAID there was anything wrong with Theodore Geisel

I just said that - I - wasn't a fan. I also thought I was quite clear, that I believe there is room in this world and even here on BC for people of various tastes. (Even if they are wrong. hee hee hee)

Once in a while I bare my soul, more often my soles bear me.

Poe Dr. Seuss. Do you suppose he was doing cocaine?

Nevermore

I seriously doubt he was doing cocaine. He just had a cog with to few teeth to mesh with the gears. I read those books to my kids so many times, I can almost recite them from memory still!

Green Lame'

I love to wear my green lame'
I love to wear it, I say I say
I'll wear it to a fancy ball
I might wear it anywhere at all
I don't like when I get caught
get caught not wearing what I ought
jersey sweats and colored tees
wearing drab's the way to please
So now I lay me down to rest
to dream of just what I love best
and if I pass ere' night is through
bury me in green lame' won't you?

Green Lames?

We had white lames and grey lames and sort of brownish lames on our farm . . . but no green lames.
