Birthday Cake Oatmeal

It was brought to my attention that earlier this week

Was the birthday of Dr.Seuss, a king and master of rhyming technique

We couldn’t let this day pass without a celebration

So what better way to honor him than in a blog that mimics his narration

Although it may be late and some would say belated

A birthday wish is a birthday wish no matter when it’s stated

So grab your oatmeal and some ingredients listed below

And you’ll enjoy a tasty cake without any baking, wouldn’t you know

You can enjoy it at a table and sitting in a chair

You can enjoy it over here or there or anywhere

It’s a breakfast fit for a celebration, even for a who

Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss, Happy Birthday to you
