Dr. Suess and Sam-I-am
Met up one day for lunch
They feasted on green eggs and ham
And apple cider punch
Horton joined them for dessert
(He’d heard another Who!)
And who else but McGurkus Squirt
Joined the party, too!
Their conversations drifted
To the places they would go
And then the topics shifted,
To people they would know
In short, it was a lovely day
For folks of just their sortin’
And leaving, they were heard to say
“Be careful now!” to Horton.

One half of a pound a week

Is that too much to seek?

It shouldn’t be hard

To lose all this lard

It’s merely a really slow leak.

***

But now a thought begins to dawn

That I can’t help but fixate on

No matter how small

The rate is, and all,

In 400 weeks, I’d be gone!

Long ago and far away

In the seaside town of Graylers

Two kinds of town folk ruled the day:

The butchers and the sailors

***

The butchers could cleave all things in two

The sailors could tie up all what-nots

The meaning’s probably clear to you:

A case of the ‘halves’ and the ‘have knots’.
