   Aneegmaposted 11 years ago

   For those of you who are familiar with Dr Seuss, use his words to describe your day today! Here's how my day went..
   
   I woke up today
   With a big hooray
   I finally got paid
   Then I got laid!
   
   Who's next?!

   Today was like sometimes,
   when sometimes is dull,
   but at least now I'm home,
   and my belly is full.
   
   It started so badly with a for-gotten lunch,
   and when I did things,
   no one said thanks a bunch.
   Then lunchtime came and my belly did growl,
   and within 4 more hours, my mind sure did prowl,
   dreaming of milk shakes, green eggs and ham,
   oh I would have even eaten spam from a can.
   
   
   So when quittin' time came,
   My shoes I quick laced,
   to put an end to the endlessness doggy cat race.
   I jetted from point A with a grin on my face
   To Porty point B with a donkey in chase.
   And there waiting for me, was my wife and little girl,
   and I stopped there so quickly I did a quick twirl.
   
   And man was I glad I got home in a hurry,
   to stuff my clown face, with some hot chicken curry.

         Oh, gosh--I'd forgotten until you mentioned them about the Burma Shave signs.  We'd so look forward to reading the silly jingles as we drove down the highways and byways on our vacation trips... One that sticks in my mind to this day is:
         "She shot a bullet
         through his hat;'
         He'd had closer
         shaves than that."
         
         There is actually a book that has the full collection of them, called "The Verse by the Side of the Road."

   My day is so slow
   Hours seem to grow
   But in case you don't know
   My words at least flow.
   For breakfast I ate
   Green ham and dates,
   For the chicken was late,
   So eggs have to wait.
   Slow is my day
   But the bird song is gay,
   The gold fish are at play
   And the sky's turning grey.
   The Grinch isn't here
   Because Christmas ain't near
   And the cat in the hat
   He's become old and fat.

   I had a good day, at the garden we  played;
   Foxes came so we gave them the boot.
   
   As I sit here and wish; I see the two fish
   the boy sacrificed on that long day
   It elates me you know, and my faith it still grows, Christ Jesus really makes a way.
   
   Nevertheless, it bugs me I guess to be privy to something so true.
   While "they" stand around wearing adamant frowns thinking SCRAM!!! but I think they sound blue.
   
   It's the end of the day

          And in the ocean
          We'll chase the ball.
          You'll will throw it in
          Just so far.
          
          We'll splash in the water
          Roll in the sand,
          Chase the sand pipers
          And dig up sand crabs.
          
          Out on the beach
          We'll play and romp…

There are shows which feature images just for dogs: gold fish swimming across the screen etc. Some dogs like to watch the horses in westerns. Yes, I could make a poem out of this… I will spare you.

                Couch Potatoes
                
                We keep our dogs in fenced-in yards
                Yet, we know their lives are hard.
                For beyond the fence, what do they see?
                Deer and chipmunks running free.
                Beyond the fence, the raccoons roam;
                While our dogs are stuck at home.
                So, we let them watch TV
                and lounge about so comfortably.
                But watching shows made just for mutts
                will turn them into you-know-whats!

    Two days of rain were cold and grim
    And filled our septic to the rim.
    Now we wait for the truck with a pump
    To take away those gallons of... dump.

    I got up early to write.
    But I had to Fight
    The Desire To Play
    And Not Be Clever Today
    I wrote A Poem
    On Topic Forbidden
    Read Some Hubs
    And Thought Ya Got To BE Kidden
    Now I read the Forum
    I have NO Decorum
    I am Wasting Time
    Making Lines That Rhyme

    The sun did not shine, it was too wet today.
    So I sat in my house all this cold, damp, grey day.
    I sat at my PC and started to yearn
    For a Hub that went "viral" and helped me to earn.
    
    I sat in the house and I stared at the wall.
    Did inspiration come? No, it didn't at all!
    So I'm sitting and waiting for a Hub to go viral
    But it seems like I'm caught in one big downward spiral.
    
    I have no ideas. Not even a clue.
    As for earning a Buck, I don't know what to do.
    It's probably time for a nice cup of tea
    And wait for the Muse (with a biscuit - or three)!

    Thanks for the post.  I used to read Dr. Seuss to my daughter all the time.  So here you go.
    
    "My Day"
    
    Declutter my basement,
    To free some space up,
    Paper here; Paper there
    Old Papers,
    Green Papers
    Blue Papers too!
    Boxes, books, manuals you must shoo!
    Before this day is over, I will feel like new!!!

    I woke up today,
    tired as can be
    With a heeve-ho,
    One, Two, Three.
    Walked to the kitchen
    my whole body was ka-put.
    Limped to the coffee maker
    on my main good foot.
    Coffee, coffee!
    Thank God for you!
    Without that black medicine
    I wouldn't know what to do.

    I like this idea haha. Quite original!
    
    Let's see.. This may not be very Dr Seuss style but what can I say!
    
    Waking up at odd hours
    I spring from my bed
    I make my breakfast late at night
    What else can be said!
    
    For when you have insomnia
    It won't let you rest your head
    But I fear not though,
    Because I'll sleep when I'm dead!

    Even though I love to sleep when I can get some haha(:

    Would I? could I? cut my hair?
    I could! I should! cut my hair!
    Should I sit down in a chair?
    no, I should stand
    and not give a care.
    
    So I cut my hair in my house
    while my sweet kitty chased a mouse!
    Now people will see me
    I look well groomed
    Just have to clean up the hair
    with my big brand new broom
    
    Now I will go out here and there
    I might even shop for new underwear!

    My dog, my kids, my closed front door,
    'Twas hodge podge cleaning until ten past four.
    
    The dogs beard was tangled and got a chop,
    The babies diaper so full of plop.
    
    The eldest, smelled this, choco-lit a lot,
    And asked, and asked like her stomach forgot.
    
    Saturday, Where ever did you go?
    Maybe you'll start, Once there off to bed though.

    Wash it?  Soak it?
    Polish it well?
    My dearest mama
    Ye think me Adele!
    
    My hands in pale glory
    Not birthed for such toil
    Daintily tremble, as both prepare to strike
    Vulgar thou art in preparing me to spoil!
    
    Mama? Adele?  Who may thee be?
    Ye both seem oddly two terrible asps!
    Averting my eyes, I reach for a knife,
    Slither away and get ye both from my grasp!
    
    
    (Yikes!)  I just had to use "asps," right?

    These are hilarious, and the exercise is honestly fantastic.  Never thought myself much of a poet, but Dr. Seuss has definitely inspired me!  Thanks for this thread!
