Am I reluctant, my silence to break?
Would it truly be such a tremendous mistake?
Could I have resisted an invite so true
From anyone other than Whitman? No, who?

Why do these couplets, of Suess make me think?
Are Rhuby and Avy thus driven to drink?
I think I will join you and from now on be lurky;
And from where in the world came that goldanged old turkey?
