Dr. Seuss is MY patron saint, so in honor of his birthday, today, March 2...
Unless someone like
you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to
get better. It’s not.
from The
Lorax, Dr. Seuss
The best advice I ever did get
Did not come from a celebrated pundit.
It came from a series of children’s stories
That cleverly addressed very adult worries.
To this day, Dr. Seuss’s counsel prevails
As told through his many simple, zany tales:
Horton taught me "a person's a person, no matter how
small".
Perhaps if government leaders recognized this, we would have
no war at all!
Sam-I-Am taught me not to judge an egg by its color;
Give
everything a try!
Anything less is judgmental,
And the wonders of the world
may pass you by.
Marco reminds us, on a walk down Mulberry Street,
That the
active imagination,
Will save all us adults
From mental, emotional and spiritual
stagnation.
Yertle the Turtle taught me never to use others to get on
top.
Again, if more adults were to heed this advice, a lot of
injustice would stop!
Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?: A story of
gratitude.
Whereas Oh, the Thinks You Can Think speaks of magnitude.
Oh, the Places You Will Go reminds me, I have no limits
Marvin K Mooney Will You Please Go Now—a clear message for
dim-wits!
Sneetches, Grinches, Zaxes, and even Zooks
The best advice I ever received came from Dr. Seuss’ books!
The End (until tomorrow),
