You're going to have a wonderful time finding out. Our library has over 1300 gems, just waiting to be discovered.

This is obviously Josef's idea of how things would work out. I love this--it's incredibly true to the original Dr. Seuss story. You're so good at keeping the feel and style of the original, and making it wonderfully Moonlighty too. Thanks very much for this poem, dear Lilly. Once again--I find myself going that I never commented on this one either!

I don't usually bump my own fic... but, then again, this can hardly be called "fic."

Anyway, I just wanted to do something to mark Dr. Seuss' birthday today... ...and since that's the original reason I wrote this whatever-it-is, it seems fitting. In a warped kind of way.

Nothing warped about it, sweetie this is pure genius and Dr. Seuss would be proud.

What a perfect way to wish Dr. Seuss a happy birthday!

And what a pleasure to reread this gem, Lilly.

Thanks, ladies.

I think that you have got it down
His pace and cadence here we're found
I'm just a teensy sad to see
That Mick fell off the wagon...gee.

Shakes self....Okay, ahem. Much better now.

This was good in the first version but this is better!

You rock, Lilly!

You just do!

Jenna

This was hilarious, Lilly! You did a wonderful job with the diction and rhythm of this piece.

Thank you!

Thank you, jen and Marigold -- I really worked at trying to match the cadence syllable for syllable. Even stole my son's book for a while.

It's been nine years...

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

This is JUST what I needed today! Thank you, Lilly! For writing this gem in the first place, and for bumping it today. Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!

I know I had read this before, but apparently didn't comment. (I was shy in the early days. Go figure. )

This just made me smile ear to ear! And just from trying to write limericks, I can appreciate how much effort you must have put into this! It's terrific!

Thanks for bumping it!

Awww, thank you, MLC!
