Silly Poems

For Josh on Theodore Geissel's Birthday


I can not lie because it is true,
you are worse than a ballyhoo.

Your priorities are way out of line,
for reasons I can't yet define.

Now, run at once to the car door,
and head out for the local store.

There buy only green eggs and ham,
then eat as much as you can cram.

By dissing the venerable Dr. Seuss
pretty proves you have a screw loose.
