Hooray! March 2nd is Seuss Day!

I have a good friend named Mark
He came up with this idea on a lark
To commemorate our beloved Dr. Seuss,
A man who’s set imaginations loose.

March 2nd is his 108th birthday
Wouldn’t you like to come and play?
All you need is a rhyme or two or three
We’ll all be as happy as we can be.

We’ll make Suess Day 2012 memorable
Each one who participates venerable
A good rhyme is a magnificent feat
When we see one we will retweet.

Simply use the hashtag #SeussDay
There really is no easier way.
Let’s join our voices, all for one
For this man who made life so much fun!

I really am excited to celebrate Dr. Suess’ birthday on Friday. I’m so glad that Mark (@mvandervoord) invited me on board to help spread the word about #SeussDay. He is a talented and creative guy. He even drew the graphic used in this post.

Here are the details I see them:

#SeussDay is Friday, March 2nd.
Tweet as many Dr. Seuss-like rhymes as you’d like using the hashtag #SeussDay.
You do not have to be a master rhymer to participate. You’ve read this post. I wasn’t selected for my innate talent. LOL!
If you’d like to help us get the word out, feel free to use the graphic. The more the merrier.
I will be working on Friday, but I’ll have a #SeussDay search saved in Twitter to follow the tweets. I’ll be retweeting my favorites throughout the day.
Most importantly, enjoy the day.

I’ll have to do some brainstorming for this. Rhyming does not come easily to me. I had no idea it was Dr. Seuss’s birthday was on the same day as the release of The Lorax. Makes sense though!
