Dr. Seuss for Writers

Dr. Seuss for Writers

By Kris Kahrs

I need to write!

I need to write!

I jump out of my bed at night.

I need a pen.

I need a light.

I cannot write this way at night.

I find a pen.

Does it have ink?

I find a light above the sink.

Oh no, Oh no, the ink is pink.

I cannot use this pen I think.

I need a drink.

I have to write!

I have to write!

I hold a light to help my sight.

Between my toes, under the sheet.

I hold a light.

No easy feat (feet)!

 

Does my hero have a car?

Does my hero travel far?

Oh!  What a lot of verbs there are!

Which way’s the bar?

I cannot write.

I cannot write.

I am too tired, this time of night.

The words do not come out quite right.

Can I put it here or there?

Can I put it anywhere?

I don’t care.

Good night.
