Kethry mentioned that my Challenge Peom started out much like "The Cat In The Hat" which got me a thinking.  Thanks Kethry... Hey, it was the Doctor who taught me to read.  Dr. Seuss that is, and I do admit that I have never out grown him.  So, here is a little "Seuss Dementia" especially for you Kethry and to whomever else might remember all the great fun.

Seuss Dementia



Who are you?
Or may I ask?
I can not see
Beyond your mask!

I am You
And you are Me...
And I have come
For Company...

No! Not here!
Please, State your case!
If you Must stay,
Please, show Your face!

Show my face?
I can not do...
For you are Me
And I am You...

Out! Get Out!
You Must Now Cease!
Leave Now! Leave Now!
As I Increase!

Your confused?
You'll understand...
Come follow me
To Crazy Land...

I Will Go!
I'll Run Away!
I'm Leaving You
Right Now, Today!

Stop? Calm down?
You silly fool...
Be quiet, Shut Up,
Relax, stay cool...

You can't run
In agrivation...
I am your soul,
Your imagination...

What's Your Wish?
What Do You Say?
I Can Not Go!
I Can Not Stay!

I'll be back,
But I must go...
Reality's here
To steal my show...

Hello sun,
Welcome on in...
I feel the day
Will soon begin...

Hello grass,
Morning Flower...
Tell me rain cloud,
Have we a shower?

Pass the eggs,
And pass the tea...
We've not much time
For sanity.

-Robert E. Michaud Jr.-




Revised from my poem titled Delirious written in 1978.

Bob, a wonderfully insane read, I am sure that the Doctor would be proud.

There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong

Most enjoyable read!  Right away it caused me to recall "Roses are red, violets are blue
I'm schizophrenic and so am I."  Have you ever heard that fun morphed poem?

You do a fine job of dementia ala Seuss!
