Off I went, once, to Oxford for my PhD And to think that I thought that was the life for me But I started to write, and oh golly! Oh gee! It was fun! What a joy! Yes, sirree! Yip yippee! I'm famous for cat's hats and green eggs and ham For yertles and sneetches and grinches, I am — I teach kids to love reading; I'm glad as a clam! Anapestic tetrameter — that hits the spot But iambs and trochees I use, too, a lot. I've no kids of my own but I'm sure young at heart!
