Family Night - Dr. Seuss Inspired

Today had arrived and with it some smiles

for today was a day for the Family of Files.

A night for fun and giggles and glee,

a great night in store for the whole family.

Bright, fun and flashy was the idea for decor,

but after some doing, they needed some more.

So, they thought and they thunk, and they said what we wish

is for our table to be finished with some tiny goldfish.

Now the table's just right, we like it like that

We just need now, to find the right hat.

We shan't go to dinner not properly dressed

For Cat-in-the-Hat night, we must look our best.

Ah-ha! That's the one, the one white and red

It looks just swell when worn on top of the head

We are now ready for dinner, ready I am

and what else would we eat,

But green eggs and ham!

The dinner was tasty, we liked it all right!

A great beginning to our Seussical night.

Onto our craft, after dinner we went

To see what creatures we could bend with our bent.

The pipe cleaners were twisted and turned to create

but the creatures didn't really turn out so great

So we started to make &  play with instead,

different types of makings we could wear on our heads....

Jane looked on from her place on the floor

Until she decided that she wanted some more

So she pulled herself up, and joined in the fun

Ah! I can't believe she is almost one.

The night had been great

For more we couldn't wish,

but then we looked over,

and glanced at the fish....

Their swimming had slowed, their faces were frowning

if we didn't know better, we'd think they were drowning!

Alas, they were not happy in such a small place

We decided to free them, to a much bigger space

Now stop that right now! Stop thinking of flushing

We took them instead to a creek that was rushing

We released them and they happily went on their way

We were glad that they shared in our Suessical day.
