Why Dr. Seuss and Edgar Allan Poe Are at a Disagreement
I Do Not like Poe, Sam I Am,
According to Poe,
There were no hat wearing cats
and no ham and eggs colored green,
Nothing was numbered or sorted by color,
such as fish or weird clones called Things.
There were no hat wearing cats
and no ham and eggs colored green,
Nothing was numbered or sorted by color,
such as fish or weird clones called Things.
There weren't any thieves known as "The Grinch".
and certainly, no Cindy Lou Whos.
Pockets were completely safe from Wockets
and everyone except Mister Brown could moo.
But Dr. Seuss did not agree.
In fact, he hated Ms. Annabel Lee.
He never ever dreamed within a dream,
or heard of a city that is under the sea.
To him, Lenore was a disgusting female,
and although his heart thumped, it told no tale.
But not even The Raven could persuade old Theodore.
I guess Poe and Dr. Seuss will be friends, nevermore.
