Motherhood: Finding Deep Meaning in Rhyming Books

The past few nights we have been reading the Dr. Seuss book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Maybe it is because it was written in 1960 but parts of the book are very poetic in an adult world. I had to share a few quotes:

“My hat is old. My teeth are gold.
I have a bird I like to hold.
My shoe is off. My foot is cold.

My shoe is off. My foot is cold.
I have a bird I like to hold.
My hat is old. My teeth are gold.

And now my story is all told.”

.
“Did you ever fly a kite in bed?
Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?
Did you ever milk this kind of cow?
Well, we can do it. We know how.

If you never did, you should.
These things are fun and fun is good.”

.
“Today is gone. Today was fun.
Tomorrow is another one.
Every day, from here to there,
funny things are everywhere.”
