That Seussical State of Mine

Here's to the Seusses
Drinking tea with pet mooses
And laughing at the serious world we are in

And here's to the kilter off glittery guilty free
Glistening unicorn crystal cut menagerie
Nitrogen narcosis and endearing neurosis
And last minute dances with the stars streaming in

You said I'm dead serious now
I'm laughing alive
You said someone must be accountable
I want no alibi

Don't you know on the road you're driving backwards
Just like everybody I see
Grow up like a child so crazy carefree
And spend the rest of life trying to remedy
That pre-lapsed station of eccentricity
As you curse the one thing that set you free

So here's to the Seusses and all their pet mooses
Playing loud tubas and munching on ruta-bagels
Here's to the laughter before during and after
The other shoe drops from the kid on the rafter

May your trees be always squiggly
{Tilted left from reality}
And don't you know that that's the right way to be?
May your elephant's hatch canary eggs
And never never stand on a turtle's head

I never got the hang of Wednesdays you see
There's still a little wacky (downright fuzzy indeed)
And a Sneetch is a Sneetch whether star bellied or free
Oh the places you'll go oh the things you can be!!!!!!!

It's that crazy little laughter that set you free
It's the tumble that comes you dive down a scree
One roll ahead of the stones sometimes two bumps behind
And sometimes it doesn't matter
In that Seussical state of mind

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...."

That quote is for you- Happy 19th Birthday!
