Picnic a La Dr Seuss

Listen to poem:

Three fine fellows listening to a concerto of cello Dined at a picnic under a weeping willow While one turtle flew over the chicken coop Two ostriches looped around on hula hoop All got together for a bowl of purple soup Before digging into a luscious cantaloupe Stacking high a mountain of marshmallow They munched a bunch of mellow yellow jello With a big dessert spoon in one fell swoop While troubadours played music for the dance troop Read on air by invitation ~ March 2, 2021 'LATE NIGHT POETS' AP: Honorable Mention 2021, Front Page Pick 2021 Submitted on March 6, 2019 for contest HONORING DR.SEUSS sponsored by MICHELLE FAULKNER - RANKED 3RD

You have captured the happy sing-a-songy voice of the master, Dr. Seuss. I spent so many hours singing them to my children. I kept reading long after they fell asleep. Good luck in the contest, Line.
