There once was a woman who said,

I'm searching for a man widely-read,

To her chagrin

She found herself in

The arms of Dr. Seuss in bed.

To use his own words I truly desired, but in lawsuits I'd find me completely enmired.

Theodore Seuss' invented words and phrases are proprietary and the corporation is highly litigious.

    A fun one, even if a tad frightening. 😂 Great job!

    This limerick made me chuckle, but I can understand the cautionary note about the potential legal issues of using Dr. Seuss's trademarked language!!
