Goose the Seuss - Shakespeare's Monkeys

Goose the Seuss

~The Seussian Necronomicon~

Perhaps the little boys and girls
were meant to flit like flying squirrels
and bag their messy words like lunch
past-tensified from Grinch to Grunch
to goosify a Suessian bunch...
may the farce be with us - ooommm!!!

I curse the verse,'green eggs and ham'
as boring as a tub of Spam
or Amy Winehouse home décor
Appropriately underscored
as artful as a Whoville whore

I am cursed with the verse
that is worse than the nurse
who gave birth in reverse
in the back of a hearse
yeeeaaarrrggghhh...

Leanne -
Indeed, it seems the goose is loose
Look out for mounds of steaming Seuss
It tastes quite good in punkin pie
But please, try to di-versify.

Anstey -

sadly though, old seuss is dead
cold as jello from foot to head
so mounds of him they do not steam
except perhaps in an ozzie dream

perhaps dear bill will take his place?
with smirkish grin and grinched up face
withthirty nine and one half foot pole
perhaps that guy can make us whole

Rws -

was that fellow Topem Hat

upon whom mindless Barney spat

as Dora bored and Smurfette whored

and product lists made morons rich?

Jen -

I will not try to De-Suessify!
I could not, would not even try!
Cats in hats, up in the air feet
Thing one and two, I'd like to meet.
The Grinch, Whoville and Sam I am
I do, I do, like green eggs and ham!
So, I'll keep hoping that someday
Writers and poets will shout and say,
I will not try to De-Raganify!
I could not, would not even try!

Rws -

You are most welcome to enjoy the whimsy of Seuss, ma'am. But his style lends itself to satire so readily that I find lampooning it hard to resist.

I think I'm the only poet here who is a children's writer. I don't know where the other children's writers hang out so you'll all have to put up with a little bit of rhyming nonsense from me...like it or snot:P

P.S. Just be careful, rhymes disease is as catchy as a leaping flea. It can spread to you from me;)

Rws -

I shall refrain from verses punny

as your nose grows cold and runny

Anstey -

I shall not refrain a bit
i shall gargle, swish and swirl and spit

I shall not hold back, nor write in prose
I shall just rhyme until my brain just goes

Shan -

I happen to like Seuss (and you Jen!) but do enjoy the fun of him too, and since I gave birth three days ago, I can't even join in as my brain is mush.

P.S. My son's favourite book is Green Eggs and Ham:P

To lampoon is, in fact, to flatter -- after all, nobody lampoons the unknown and irrelevant, do they?

More lampoonery, I say!

Jen -

Who goosed the Suess in Shakespeare's muse?
Who Suessed the monkeys loose?
With keyboards clacking
Forced rhymes smacking,
Who Suessified their muse?

Anstey -

my muse is often soussed a bit
and smells of cheesed and moused up shit
thus my verse a badish crap
small ideas and inane pap

my muse, that bitch, is no Dr. Suess
in her knickers all gnarled and puce
hiding smudges tracked below
but not the stench of what.. ewww
you know.

What twisted confessions in childish verse

My perverted innocence unearthed...
