Dr. Seuss was more stern in that his was very much a political agenda at times, no matter how much we hate to admit that. Charles Dodgson in the mid 1800s england vs. Theodore Geisel mid 1900s US pre-war post-war pre-war post-war etc etc. Dr. Seuss took it upon himself to actively engage in racist/xenophobic propaganda material but I will forgive him of that (trying to make a living out of working for the post during that period).. due to the work that shortly followed. Both political in nature.. Dodgson pointed out the futility in all of it and Seuss was geared more towards hate mongering at times. I apologize, I promise not to ruin the Giving Tree for you lol. However the information is fascinating. Dodgsons Nonsensical Mathematics.

I first heard a college friend of mine recite this more than 40 years ago.I had absolutely NO IDEA what he was saying but for some reason it remains with me to this day. Thanks, Graham!!

This is the first time I've heard this poem and I really love it.
