Guess Who's 50


The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
The Cat in the Hat
Has turned 50 today.
It's a party for one
But he didn't invite us.
Cause his blood pressure's high
And he's got prostatitis.
He no longer plays games
Or sings whimsical vocals,
Now his hair's going grey
And he wears multifocals.
Yes, he's Botoxed his smile,
And he's stapled his tummy.
So what happened to just having fun
That was funny?
Hey there, Cat in the Hat,
We're all getting old too.
Sure, our guts are like rubber,
Our knees are like glue.
But in your world of tricks,
With the kites and the fish,
You can make anyone feel
As young as they wish.
See, you've got one advantage
When it comes to age:
No one ever grows old
When they live on a page.
Thanks to Theodor Geisel,a.k.a. Dr. Seuss,
You can still work your magic,
You've still got the juice.
And to every new child
Who will open your book,
You're as spry as you act.
They don't care how you look.
We sure think that it's nifty
You'll continue like that.
Life begins when you're 50,For a Cat in the Hat
