March 11 Dr. Seuss and The Places You'll Go. This is only an excerpt. I love this book and Dr. Seuss is always so much fun. He passes on great knowledge is a fun, whimsical way. Enjoy! Oh, the Places You'll Go! Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes You can steer yourself Any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go. You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care. About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there." With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, You're too smart to go down any not-so-good street. And you may not find any You'll want to go down. In that case, of course, You'll head straight out of town. It's opener there In the wide open air. Out there things can happen And frequently do To people as brainy And footsy as you. And when things start to happen, Don't worry. Don't stew. Just go right along. You'll start happening too. https://genius.com/Dr-seuss-oh-the-places-youll-go-excerpt-annotated |
