Well, I made up the poem, not so much...Puff Daddy,<br /><br />Well, I made up the poem, not so much whatever truth is behind it. To be honest, it was one of the more challenging pieces to write, and writing it gave me an even deeper appreciation of what a genius Dr. Seuss was. I stumbled about halfway through it, completely lost the Seussical rhythm, and just plowed my way through to the finish. To my way of thinking, it might be a funny bit, but it's lousy Seuss.<br /><br />I learn a lot about writing from parodying my superiors, and I've always wanted to do Seuss. Wow, it is so hard to do well, to find the music and to generate the surprise that comedy needs all while searching for an unusual but appropriate rhyme. But I like to write my way into difficult places and then try to escape. Therein lies the fun. For me, at least.<br /><br />Hey Dave,<br /><br />It was one of those amazing harmonic convergences that while I was writing a parody of Seuss I first heard from the owner/winemaker at Soos Creek. But Alexander Pope?
