“There’s a Wocket in my Pocket!” That was my favorite Seuss book to employ at bedtime, because once again, I could recite it and turn the pages without even looking. Those were the exhaustion days and the Doctor provided relief. Now, I feel like I have to reread the pages from the night before of my current entertainment to remember what the heck the story is about anyway. It’s time for a change up.
I’m digging back to the past and bringing out the old Norton anthologies – huge tomes of which we only studied about a quarter in college, if that. Jostle the brains cells again, right, “Paroline,” fellow cohort in the pursuit of English language studies? See what the heck the other sonnets are about? By the way, Sir Patrick Stewart recites a sonnet a day if you’re interested. I learned this from Katie Couric via “Pann.”
Don’t worry – I won’t do “Sonnet of the Day,” And you can use “What’s your favorite Dr. Seuss book,” as a start to your cheerful banter at the dinner table.
We’re all digging deep.
William Blake’s “The Echoing Green”, for those of us who love green and Spring 🍃 I went digging deep!
