Dr. Seuss is an odd thing to be scared of, don't you think?
Better to fear weeping angels, Don't Blink!
But his characters are creepy, terrifying, lopsided.
In their attempt at fun they are truly misguided.
Who likes a cat with a hat that breaks into your home?
Or a big furry monster who steals your comb?
Then there's thing one and two
Whatever will I do?
When they destroy my house
Rip up my mother's blouse.
And a noothgrush on my toothbrush
Is not just scary but quite unsanitary.

On top of that his stories just don't make sense.
Green eggs and ham? With what purpose? From whence?
Plus his rhymes are even worse than mine.
He makes up a word and calls it fine.
And to be honest rhymes make me nauseous.
I hate having to speak in time, so cautious.
With a hatred of rhymes, I'm glad to be done.
Truly this explanation has not been fun.
I really hope that now you see
Why Dr. Seuss is so creepy to me.
