I Imagine If Dr. Seuss Were Alive Today, He'd Write Something Like This

March 22, 2020

This beautiful poem was written about the current state of the world, inspired by Dr. Seuss.

"I imagine if Dr. Seuss were alive today, he'd write something like this:

The buildings were big and people would smile

And travel they would mile by mile.

But sick they become, in numbers it grew

Businesses worried, communities too.

Things stopped for a bit, the world slowed its roll

The virus has certainly taken its toll.

But what they then saw from slowing things down,

Is in fact they now had less reasons to frown.

Families now gathered, what game shall we play?

Pass me the blue crayon, give Mommy the grey.

Dad's home guys! He'll read us a book

then all of us together will cook.

The lungs of the planet caught a small break

less travel meant less pollution to make.

People did realize they'd all be OK

They don't need so much to get through the day.

Maybe this virus that caused so much stress

Showed the whole world that more can mean less.
