Dr. Seuss was a friend of a neighbor when my family lived in New
York, and well, he actually read one of his stories to me when I was a tyke.
Thus did he predict your becoming a Seuss sayer?

Ol' Ted, he was read to by THE Doctor Seuss;
But this one or that one he could not deduce.
His folks could not help to put Ted at his ease;
Was it Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs, if you please?

Little kids sometimes think the cat in the hat is Dr. Seuss. No joke. Little bitty kids see the name Dr. Seuss next to that big cat in the big hat, and they deduce that the cat is Seuss.
And when they are shown the picture of the actual Dr. Seuss, they feel despondent because the cat is so much cooler looking than the man.
FTR: I didn't like Seuss when I was young. But I do like being around Seuss enthusiasts when they read to little kids. The excitement is contagious--at least for the duration of hearing the book read.
