Dear Dr. Seuss

For those  of you looking for "What Would You Do With It? Wednesday," Don't worry, I'll get that post up tonight. 

"The sun did not shine.

It was too wet to play.

So we sat in the house

All that cold, cold wet day."

~Dr Seuss from The Cat in the Hat 

Oh, Dear Dr. Seuss,

There's simply no excuse-

Your books are first rate,

to that no debate.

However it's clear

you really must hear

There's no reason to hide

from the weather outside.

The days without sun

outside are still fun.

When the rain is drip droppin'

Our play is not stoppin'

You think it's too wet-

How could you forget?

Water means splashin'

and mad puddle dashin'

Now, don't be a dud

Go play in the mud!

Every day is a day

we can go out to play!

Here you'll be told

"We wear jackets  in cold."

The cold is no reason

to be inside for the season. 

When winter winds blow-

shout "HOORAY!" for the snow.

 Outside can be fun-

in rain, snow, or sun!

"too cold or too wet"

You're just silly to fret-

now get out and play,

every day is the day!

So, excuses no more

fun is waiting, right out the door.....

Sincerely,

Ms. Amy
