So, for what will be my final FreeVerse post of the year, I bring you some Dr. Seuss lyrics from my favourite holiday movie: the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Dr. Seuss, like Ogden Nash, was never one to let the non-existence of a word stand in his way. The version I post here comes from this website.FreeVerse is brought to all of us by Cara at Ooh... Books! Head on over there for more poetry!
Welcome Christmas, Christmas Day! May all my readers have a wonderful holiday full of peace and joy, no matter what holiday you celebrate. I'll be back on the 26th.
Welcome Christmas (Reprise)

Oh, I thinks this totally counts as poetry. Seuss is so poetic anyway with his rhythm and rhyming. Love this. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your choice for FreeVerse!
