HELP...my BABY is ONE!!

What Would You Be?

By Dr. Seuss

If you'd never been born, well then what would you be?

You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree! You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes!

You might be a bag of hard green tomatoes! Or worse than all that- why, you might be a WASN'T! A WASN'T has no fun at all. No, he doesn't.

A WASN'T just isn't. He just isn't present. But you-

you ARE YOU!

And now, isn't that pleasant? Today you are you! That is truer than true!

There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Shout loud,

"I am lucky to be what I am!

Thank goodness I'm not just a clam or a ham! Or a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam!

I am what I am! That's a great thing to be!

If I say so myself,

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!"

HOORAY FOR ONE!
