Hi Walt:
Sadly, Shakespeare you aint. But you are in solid as a writer for Cat in the
Hat II, or any other Dr. Zeuss for that matter. Entertaining and with a good
grasp of meter, rhyme and parameter this is the type of poetry guaranteed to
get a laugh from your friends and make you the louse in the house with your
spouse.
