2. I do not like green eggs and ham!
I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
I will not eat them in the rain.
I will not eat them on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I will not eat them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!

I do not like green eggs and ham!

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

5. Oh, it has nothing to do with being gay.
I was just calling him a pervert.

That's a wholly different thing.

7. You ever see that book of his personal sketches?
It's great. I gave it to my GF for XMas one year, and I really should have just kept it. :evilgrin:

9. I read on one of his bio sites
that he had an evil art teacher who told him his work was crap, that he'd never be any good, and should just give up. Which, of course, made him determined to prove the teacher wrong. Thus we have Dr. Seuss. :D

Thanks, evil asshole art teacher!! :hi:

13. He never talked down to children.
Ever. He treated kids with respect. Some of the most clever wordplay ever written came from the good Dr. Seuss.
