I love my job, I love the pay.
I love it more and more each day.
I love my boss; he/she is the best.
I love his boss and all the rest.
I love my office and its location.
I hate to have to go on vacation.
I love my furniture, drab and gray,
And the paper that piles up every day.
I love my chair in my padded cell.
There's nothing else I love so well.
I love to work among my peers.
I love their leers and jeers and sneers.
I love my computer and its software;
I hug it often though it don't care.
I love each program and every file,
I try to understand once in a while.
I'm happy to be here, I am, I am;
I'm the happiest slave of my Uncle Sam.
I love this work; I love these chores.
I love the meetings with deadly bores.
I love my job-I'll say it again.
I even love these friendly men,
These men who've come to visit today
In lovely white coats to take me away
I love my life, I love my school, I love my friends, I love Eli.....wait what...oh yeah poetry response. This weeks poem is once again from Dr. Seuss; however, it is a special poem because this is one of his lost poems. This poem focuses on how Dr. Seuss seems to love everything in his life, whether it be his job, the jeers of his co-workers, the taxes he pays to Uncle Sam, or even the people coming to take him away to the funny farm, he loves them all, and from this us readers can learn a little lesson. Quite often you hear people complaining about every aspect of life. Maybe their job is bad or boring, maybe their mother is making them work around the house, maybe their life just plain sucks, but the one thing these kinds of people have in common is the fact that they all focus on the bad of their life rather than the good. I believe in this poem Dr. Seuss is trying to tell people to quit looking and focusing on what is bad in your life, but rather, look the the good things and find a way to see everything positively. Besides if you do that then the people in white coats will come get you and who doesn't want that :D?
