The PC Police

The PC* police are on the loose

And now they’re banning Dr. Seuss!

They say offensive writing’s there

So readers all should be aware.

 

But wait! We will not have a choice

For censorship has raised its voice,

Deciding that we never meet

What’s waiting on a certain street.**

 

Yes, times have changed; perhaps, today

He’d write the words a different way

With illustrations he’d intend

To absolutely not offend.

 

But books writ many years ago

Reflect a life we used to know

And so, to calm the PC wrath,

We toss the baby with the bath.

 

*Politically Correct

**And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street (1937),

one of the 6 books written by Dr. Seuss which will no longer

be published.
