Remembering Dr Seuss

Theodor Seuss Geisel
March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991

When I was a child there were the works of Dr Seuss. His books were found in about every school I attended and I read each and every one to the best of my knowledge.

I suppose they contributed to my general language skills as I have become an accomplished wordsmith in my advancing age and those were some of my earliest influences.

They likely imparted a punny effect on me as well because I have (and still do) enjoy my various play on word adventures from time to time.

Theodor Seuss Geisel a children's author who engaged in political cartoons and various illustrations as well as poetry, animation and film.

While some of his stuff was decidedly adult fare ... I was one to reject the late labels of racist upon his memory by the left and their cohort of manipulative inciters out to mould the world into some politically correct monstrosity of their liking.

I recall those books and their indigenous vocabularies draped in rhyme scheme as being a different kind of entertainment from that literature I normally consumed in those tender young elementary school years.

Dr Suess was appropriate to my life and therefore he added to my existence and I am far better for having experienced his literary acumen.
