= Dr.Seu ss = = = = =  Theodore Seuss Giesel, mostly known by Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield,Massachusetts. In his spare time he was a writer, cartoonist, animator, book publisher and an artist. Theodore published 44 children books, which were often characterized by rhyme and make believe characters.Some of his bestsellers included __The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!__, __Horton Hears A Who!__, __Green Eggs and Ham__, __Cat In the Hat__, and __One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish__. Dr. Seuss lived a long life and will live forever through all of his books.Seuss was also known by the pen names of Theo Lesieg and Rosetta Stone. Dr. Seuss died at the age of 87 on September 21, 1991.

 One of my favorite poems made by Dr.Seuss is called "I Love My Job". This is my favorite poem because I like the rhyme scheme and I find it very funny. In fact, I found this poem on google about a week ago and I automatically made it my favorite poem. The poem below's rhyme scheme is AABBCCDDEEFFGG and it continues like that until the poem ends. This is my favorite poem because i like how it rhymes. I like this poem because it rhymes because I usually don't pay much attention to poems if they don't rhyme. The only way a poem can catch my attention is if it rhymes and sounds interesting. And this poem certainly has both of those characteristics.

= = **I love my job –Dr.Seuss**

I love my job I love the pay! I love it more and more each day. I love my boss, he is the best! I love my boss and all the rest. I love my office and its location. I hate to have to go on vacation. I love my furniture, drab and grey. And piles of paper that grow each day! I think my job is really swell, there’s nothing else I love so well. I love to work among my peers, I love their leers and jeers and sneers. I love my computer and its software; I hug it often though it won’t care. I love each program and each file; I’d love them more if they worked a while. I’m happy to be here. I am. I am. I’m the happiest slave of the firm, I am I love this work. I love these chores. I love the meetings with deadly bores. I love my job-I’ll say it again- I even love those friendly men. These friendly men who’ve come today, in clean white coats to take me away.

 You can recognize when you are reading one of Dr.Seuss's poems by the tone and rhyme scheme he uses. His tone is always happy and exciting and the rhythm he uses is always on beat. And I always notice some type of figure of speech in every poem I read of his. For example, the poem below:

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.  Some come from ahead and some come from behind.  But I've bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see.  Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!  **~Dr Seuss**

The poetic form of this poem is narrative poetry. He uses Casual Language and uses a lot of rhythm in all of his poems and books. The rhythmic pattern is end because the rhyme is always at the end of the sentence.
