March is a month of great Pisces.  I know some really good Zodiac Fish, I’ll tell you.  One of my sisters is a Pisces… and a nephew too.  They are both pretty cool.

Typically, the Pisces person is known as mysterious and alluring individuals.  The people of this sign or highly creative, great thinkers, compassionate, adaptable… and very accepting.  Kind of like the Sneetches.  Well, the Sneetches that finally “got it.”  Good folks.  Right down to the little stars on their bellies.

Why do I ask this… why do I care?
Because Teddy Geisel was born over there.
He liked to write books about creatures and people.
He would paint a church green and take off the steeple.

I cherished his stories, when I was a kid.
Now I find them on Ebay and place quite a bid.
The Sneetches are best.  By far my big favorite.
Those Green Eggs and Ham… I really do savor it.

So I’ll dance round in circles to cheer on this day.
Dr. Seuss was just great.  He was more than okay.
He had a great message which had to be told.
And he’s still young at heart… he will never grow old.

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” – Dr. Seuss

-.-.-.-.-.-.-…….-.-.-.-.-.-.-……..-.-.-.-.-.-.-…….-.-.-.-.-.-.-

So.  More on Seuss.  His real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) Yep.  An American writer, poet, and cartoonist.  But Doc Seuss most widely known for his children’s books written under the pen names Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSieg and, in one case, Rosetta Stone.  Ha.  Rosie.

All and all, Teddy-Boy published 46 children’s books.   Forty-Six.  Seems like it should be more.

His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Now here is something.  Geisel attended Dartmouth College as a member of the Class of 1925.  During that time, he wrote for a  humor magazine at school….. the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern.  Eventually… they made him the BIG editor-in-chief… of the Pumpkin Paper.

But here is the deal.   Party Man G.  He was caught drinking Gin with nine friends in his dorm room.  Yowza.  As a result, Dean Craven Laycock insisted that he resign from all extracurricular activities.  Of course this would include his snappy newspaper job.

Soooo…. Mr. Smarty Pants…… to continue work on the Jack-O-Lantern without the administration’s knowledge, Geisel began signing his work with the pen name “Seuss”.   And that is when it first took hold.  Dr. Seuss was born.   A bottle of Gin…. and a big tall red & white striped hat.  Mainly because there wasn’t a lampshade in the dorm room.

I could go on about this rhyming dude.  But I think I’ve said quite enough.

I love Dr. Seuss.  A Very Happy Birthday Ted.

You are one good Pisces….. a real good one, two, red & blue fish.
