Let’s hear a cheer for Dr. Moose
He holds the pen of Dr. Seuss
For Dr. Seuss is Dr. Moose
A fact that I did not deduce
It is the truth, they both produce
More rhyme in time than Mother Goose

Whatever form, whatever task
It isn’t anything to ask
For Dr. Moose to quick produce
A patterned verse of certain use
More intricate than Dr. Seuss
And much more fun than Mother Goose

He dips his pen into the well
And there it is! - A Villanelle!
A Terzandelle!, a Paradelle!
Perfect form and written well
A fine Sestina, Split Sestet
Limerick, Tanka, Rondelet

And now he’s into Pantoum land
A place he simple waves his hand
And there it is, another score
A one foot, two foot, three foot, four
So kindly let me introduce
A Dr.Seuss called Dr.Moose

Liz , I am absolutely speechless ( well o.k. , no I'm not ),but I am most honored by this wonderfully humorous piece ( even if it does stretch the truth just the tiniest bit ).
Thank you , thank you (taking my bows whether they're deserved or not )
Doc

After reading this, Liz, I must say that if Dr. Moose is Dr. Seuss, then you must be Nurse Seuss!

BRAVO!



I always have loved Dr. Suess!
And also, I've loved Dr. Moose!
You've penned this verse, Liz, oh so well!
You know I like it, can't you tell?

Thank you all for your comments. Check out the poetry workshop from time to time to see the swift pen in motion. His poetry is out of this world, Dr Moose, that is.
(Dr. Seuss is ever so normal)
