Sept. 24, 1991: Theodor (Dr. Seuss) Geisel dies of throat cancer.
His name that was given was Theodor Geisel
Though fans called him Seuss; 'twas a self-made revisal.
Early on he drew ads; then came propaganda
For the U.S. war effort. (He adored the agenda.)
But after the war, he turned focus to kids stuff
Fantastical satires of authorities and their guff
His menagerie bloomed as he cartooned and lampooned
There was a turtle named Yertle and so many buffoons
Thing One and Thing Two, and a Cat with a Hat
A Once-ler, a Lorax - but then, you knew that.
His legacy rich, his influence sublime
Seuss passed one September; there'd be no more rhyme.
