Oh Seuss! (Author Unknown)

.

Alas, they’ve come for Dr. Seuss,

They wish to hang him with a noose.

They claim his tales were racist bent,

They judged him fast, missed what he meant.

But if we look inside his tales,

You’ll find the balance of the scales.

Remember when Horton heard a Who,

And the wisdom of the Lorax too.

The lesson behind Green Eggs and Ham,

That changed the mind of Sam-I-Am.

Recall the Grinch, so cold and sour,

Whose heart grew threefold in an hour.

He taught us lessons, one and all,

Boys and girls, big and small.

So if you’ve judged his works as poor,

You should re-read them, I implore.

The man we know as Dr. Seuss,

Set our imaginations loose.

His impact was beyond compare,

He taught us it was good to care.

To accept the red, the blue, the green,

And on each other we can lean.

If you still believe that Seuss is bad,

Then you are the one that’s been had.

Release your wokeness, the hate, the rue,

And embrace the hope of Cindy Lou.
