did you know that dr. seuss wrote in
anapestic tetrameter:
Anapestic tetrameter consists of four rhythmic units, anapests, each composed of two weak beats followed by one strong beat; often, the first weak syllable is omitted, or an additional weak syllable is added at the end. An example of this meter can be found in
"Yertle the Turtle":
- "And today the Great Yertle, that Marvelous he
- Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see."

Hi Honey!
Tell Ned that his Yawner was so realistic that I yawned when I saw it!! (him/her?)\
I love Dr Seuss!! I read his Happy Birthday To You to my niece in her 1st grade class on her birthday this year. I made a spool of red felt hotdogs and some orange felt Dr. Derring's Singing Herrings to share with the class!! How VERY fun!!
AND I bet you didn't know that I can recite the ENTIRE How the Grinch Stole Christmas!! It was my son Gable's favorite book and I had to read it to him EVERY night - all years long. I ended up memorizing it - to this day! Sometimes when I can't sleep I'll think it to myself. :) Who better to fall asleep with than Max and Cindy Lou?? :)
Love you, Ned and that Yawner! (and everyone else too:)
MA
...and yes, in case you were wondering...the hotdogs ALL had mustard.
:)
