Oh-
by Markesia Bailey
One fish, Two fish
Red fish, Blue fish
Dr. Seuss you’re a genius
I wish one day you could see
How you uplifted so many
Giving them false ideas of how the world would be
I remember telling my niece who was about three
How good green eggs and ham would be
Not realizing that she would actually believe me
Me, well you, cause I’m a thief
I steal joy, happiness, laughter, tears
Over the many years,
I stole all of my free time
Decided that I would be a multitasking college student
Didn’t realize that oh the places you’ll go
Was a book of false hopes and rhymes
You said my mountain awaited
Yet, I fell off trying to make it
Oh the places
The places that I should’ve went
The people that I should’ve seen
It’s ok Seuss
I know one thing
I… I have the brains in my head
And I decide where I’ll go
