    Most Original Dr. Seuss

    Don't say I've not warned you
    This verse is quite bad
    It's spur of the moment
    So don't think that I am mad.
    
    The time has come I have to fly
    My hearing aid battery is about to die
    Will it die in a meeting?
    Will it die during greetings?
    Will it die on a farm while the sheep are all bleating?
    
    It will die without rhyme
    It will die without reason
    It can die quite suddenly
    No matter the season
    
    It dies in the very strangest of places
    While I earnestly watch other people's faces
    It can die quite suddenly so there is no sound
    It can be unnerving with others around.
    
    I groan and I curse this terrible thing
    That helps to drown out the terrible ring
    The whistle, the roar
    That goes on in my ears
    That's been part of my life for so many years.
    
    I find one that is round and shiny and new
    Not scratched or defaced
    Or covered in glue
    
    I put it in slowly
    With a smile on my face
    And rejoin the world
    With remarkable pace
    
    The sounds hum and the sounds roar
    I wonder what it was that I did before
    I found these wonderful amazing things
    That help me to hear and make my heart sing.
    


    Most Drunk Dr. Seuss

    Do I want to hear?
    Do I want a beer?
    What a silly question to  hear while guzzling down
    my beer.
    
    Give a little cheer.
    Bottle up the fear.
    Keep it very clear and be careful not to jeer.
    
    Do I wear an aid?
    Are there cards called spades?
    Deal out the deck while I adjust my shades.
    
    This is very silly
    But never ever frilly
    Because it's written by someone whose name can
    rhyme with hilly.
