Making the Move with Kids

Oh, the Places You´ll Go! Dr. Seuss

Congratulations!

Today is your day. You´re off to Great Places!

You´re off and away!

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,

You´re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

In that case, of course, you´ll head straight out of town.

It´s opener there in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen and frequently do

To people as brainy and footsy as you

And when things start to happen, don´t worry.  Don´t stew.

Just go right along. You´ll start happening, too.

Oh! The Places You´ll Go!

You won´t lag behind, because you´ll have the speed.

You´ll pass the whole gang, and you´ll soon take the lead.

Wherever you fly, you´ll be best of the best.

Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

I´m sorry to say so, but, sadly, it´s true

That Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.

You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch.

And your gang will fly on. You´ll be left in a Lurch.

You´ll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump.

And the chances are, then, that you´ll be in a Slump.

And when you´re in a Slump, you´re not in for much fun.

Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.

You can get so confused that you´ll start in to race

Down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace

And grind on for miles across weirdish wild space

Headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.

The Waiting Place3;for people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go

Or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring,

Or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No

Or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting.

No! That´s not for you!

Somehow you´ll escape all that waiting and staying.

You´ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.

With banner flip-flapping, once more you´ll ride high!

Ready for anything under the sky.

Ready because you´re that kind of a guy!

Oh, the places you´ll go! There is fun to be done!

There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.

And the magical things you can do with that ball

Will make you the winning-est winner of all.

Fame! You´ll be famous as famous can be,

With the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

You´ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know.

You´ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.

So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact

And remember that Life´s a Great Balancing Act.

Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.

And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed!

(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)

Kid, You´ll Move Mountains!

So3;

Be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray

Or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O´Shea, you´re off to Great Places!

Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting.

So3;get on your way!
