Dr Seuss is wacky! Dr Seuss is fine!
He writes in playful poetry with very heavy rhyme!
When you read Dr Seuss aloud, the rhythm bounces you along, and the rhyme and expressive punctuation bring up the energy.
In this snippet, the writing can be broken into three pairs of lines (each called a couplet). Each pair is about one idea (so three ideas in total). You’ll notice each pair rhymes and has the same number of syllables. The whole verse leads to a punchline.
Note: If you want to try highlighting the snippet yourself, you'll need to do it one line at a time.
