Seuss Memorial
Springfield, Massachusetts hosts the Dr. Seuss National Memorial
Here I am!
With Horton the Elephant, Yertle, and Sam.
We didn't come here for green eggs and ham,
but to open a memorial that honors the man,
who penned hundreds and hundreds of wondrous pages
still read out loud by kids of all ages.
With six million bucks, point nine from the feds,
his home town chose to honor old Ted.
Geisel, that is, the man known to youse
As the incomparable, indomitable, beloved Dr. Seuss.It's titanic, stupendous, marvelous, gigantic!
What they've done in this city is truly fantastic!
From Hamden and Hampshire and Northampton, too,
they came far and wide to this most unusual zoo.
From here to there, from hither to yon
Giant bronze sculptures adorn a green lawn.
There's The Grinch, and Thidwick, and a book ten feet tall,
And no, that's not all (no, that's certainly not all);
There's The Cat (in the Hat), The Lorax and Max,
said the city's good mayor, it's a fine use of your tax.
I'm going to be in Massachusetts next month. This sounds worth checking out.
