That books are like a recipe
You take some words, mix them about
And then a story might fall out.
I’ve stirred up some letters, added some spaces
Put punctuation in approximate places
It’s been in the oven as if it were cake
Now is the time to see if it’s half-baked…
Food is best shared, so when we are able
We’ll ask some of our friends to sit at our table.
A cat in a hat,
A fox in his socks
And the Lorax will be invited
Plus Horton,
A Who
And Things One and Two
(If they don’t get over-excited.)
Our storybook dish will start with some fish
Shall we have
One or two?
Will they be
Red or blue?
I’m going to leave that up to you.
(If it needs seasoning take a pinch
Of something cheeky called The Grinch.)
Our main course will be eggs and ham
And if you’re really keen
The favourite kind of eggs and ham
Is when they’re purest green.
Serve with a glass of Oobleck juice
And enjoy your taste of Dr Seuss.
