\*Would you read it in a basket?  
Would you read it in a casket?

Would you read it in your bed?  
Would you read it if you’re dead?

Would you read it to be brave?  
Would you read it from the grave?\*

Not to be confused with the R-rated sequel, **What Kind of Pot Have You Got**?

Or the ever-popular “Horton Hears a Hooker”.

Why is it all the Robot Chicken takes in Seuss are now running through my brain?

\*I wish we could do what they do in Katrife  
In Katrife they can waken the dead back to life!  
In Katrife, every year, on the day you have died  
They bring forth the dawn of a new undead tide

When the Dead-day Zomb-Zomber hikes high up Mr. Zorn  
And let’s loose a big blast on the big Zombie Horn.  
And the voice of the horn calls out loud as it plays:  
“Wake Up! For today you’ll devour their brains!”\*

Also hoping for more of the alphabet in _From Beyond Zebra_.

I’m a sentimental Seuss fan. I’ve loved Seuss since my childhood and loved sharing his books with my children. This is exciting news to me. 🙂
