A friend on Facebook gave us this the other day: “Rewrite lines from famous movies as Dr. Seuss might have written them.”
Here are a couple starters.
1. Play it again, Sam. Play it for me. Play it for Suzy and Fibber McGee. Play it the way that you played it before on the flute, the kazoo, and violadore.
2. Inconceivable!
You keep saying that word, but do you know
if that word will take where you want to go.
Now, what will you do with that? I’m looking at you, Book. What will you do with that?
Out of all the gin mills
And all the bars,
And all the planes
And all the cars,
She could have looked at windmills,
Or up into the stars,
She could have studied storm drains,
Or herded Billy-gars.
She could have gone to Zapping;
I think that would be fine.
At home she could be napping,
But no! She came to mine!
Ha! I love it.
You keep saying that word, but do you know
if that word will take you where you want to go?
To galaxies far far away,
I suppose would be ok.
But I wish to fly where only eagles dare.
And there in that local I won’t have much chance.
Though I might have some flair…
…if I just wouldn’t blanch…
Since the Monkeys are left three.
The Beatles now done with thee.
So just like them, I leave you this farce…
In the far better hands, like Lars’.
Just can’t seem to get that rhythm down…
I do like one of his quotes, ” Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.”
I’ve never read Seuss… have seen the books but, not partaken of the words…..
I see dead people, dead people I see,
I’m not telling you now, but one of them is thee!
(Do I get extra points since Dr. Suess is actually referenced in that movie?)
Luke I am your father, your father I say.
My father? I don’t know; I really can’t say.
It could be a clam,
Or a can full of spam,
Or a man on a tram, eating gooseberry jam.
Qui-gon blabbed some bluff he pulled out of his sleeve,
“’twas by midichlorians he was concieved.”
But Luke, you got started the old-fashioned way.
Now let’s kick the emperor’s butt, son. OK?
This is getting good, and no extra credit for anyone.
