Dr. Seuss would roll over in his grave

The Cat in the Hat was a favorite read when I was a little girl, and when Andy came along, he had every Dr. Seuss book ever written. I read them so often to them that I had them all memorized. Often, when on a longish drive in the car, we would recite the Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs and Ham or the Dr. Seuss Alphabet.

Doc. Seuss rhymes and words were fun, fun, fun.
But in the movie there was none, none, none.
They ruined the book, they ruined it bad.
The film, Cat in the Hat just made me feel sad.

They created bad characters like Larry the creep,
who's part was completely unneeded, not deep.
and, where was this bossman within the great book?
an anal retentive who searched in each nook?

No rhyming, no cadence, no humour, no fun.
This movie sucks badly, just run, run, run, run!
