Does the name Dr. Seuss ring a bell? Many of us grew up with his books. How about The Cat in the Hat, or maybe Horten Hears a Who(down in Whosville, if I remember correctly), Green Eggs and Ham (Sam I am), or How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
He was great - although now that I’m older I think he must have been on something to come up with those texts. But on the other hand, it’s hard to be creative with a vocabulary of no more than 220 words. Hmmm, come to think of it, most people learning a foreign language have similar problems, but that’s a completely different can of worms…
There is a point to this all, and that’s this poem, A Grandchild’s Guide to Using Grampa’s Computer, written by Gene Ziegler. It’s enjoyable, and almost everybody has heard or read parts of it already, but here is the whole kit and kaboodle.
Read and enjoy!
