Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss, and happy Read Across America Day!I woke up early, yes, I did.
I shook my head and rubbed my lids.
Teeth were brushed and Grape Nuts ate;
I browsed the newspaper for this date.
Today's first reading won't be my last:
I hopped my bike to catch the bus fast.
Read The Jumbies by Traci Baptiste
as mass transit moved me west to east.
At school, Brown Girl Dreaming, The Odyssey--
Turns out I'm reading 'cross the county.
Fun use of Suess! I love it! ~JudyK
ReplyDeleteMy SOL today was also in honor of Dr. Seuss and Read Across America Day. I love how you took your daily routine and made it in Seuss fashion. Your last line brought the connection full circle.
ReplyDeletePajamas on, I'm off to school,
ReplyDeleteWho cares if I don't look cool!
Read today: there's no excuse.
Happy birthday Dr. Seuss!
love it
DeleteI love it! I love your poem and your book choices too. Love hearing your voice here!
ReplyDeleteLove reading your poem. I was working my shift at the bookstore today & put up a small sign, but of all the many books we have, I could find no Dr. Seuss. They are still asked for often.
ReplyDeleteA tip of the top hat to Dr. Suess & you! Green with envy that hamming it up poetically is so nourishing. Thanks.
