My apologies to the late great Dr. Seuss, who, as an unabashed liberal would certainly appreciate the expansion of health care to millions of Americans, but I feel like celebrating! (as Paul Krugman recommends)
I bear a plan
I bear a plan
That’s Plan-I-bear
That’s Plan-I-bear
I do not like that Plan-I-bear
Do you like Obamacare?
I do not like it Plan-I-bear
I do not like Obamacare
Would you like it here or there?
I would not like it here or there
I would not like it anywhere
I do not like Obamacare
I do not like it, Plan-I-bear!
Would you like it in a house?
Would you like it with a mouse?
They do not like it in the House
I can’t get to it with a mouse
I do not like it, Plan-I-bear
I do not like Obamacare!
I do not like it here or there
I do not like it anywhere
I do not like Obamacare
Would you try it with a box
Especially one controlled by FOX
¨
Not in a box, not with the FOX
Not in the House, not with a mouse
I would not try it here or there
I would not try it anywhere
I would not buy Obamacare
I do not like it, Plan I bear!
You do not like it, so you say
Try it, try it, and you may
Try it, and you may, I say
Bear, if you will let me be
I will try it – you will see...
Say – I like Obamacare!
Say I like them, Plan-I-bear!
I will use it on a boat
And I would use it with a goat
And in the dark, and on the train
And in a car, and in a tree
It is so good, so good you see
So I will praise it on the box
But not, perhaps, on foolish FOX
And we may not convince that wasteful House
But I will click it with my mouse
And I will use it here or there
And I will use it anywhere
I do so like Obamacare
Thank you, Thank you, Plan-I-Bear!

Tired of politics? Need to escape? Try one of my Greek-mythology based novels, either the story of Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus or a trilogy about Niobe, or one of the first examples of civil disobedience, Antigone and Creon. Or, if you like mysteries and/or Jane Austen, treat yourself to The Highbury Murders: A Mystery Set in the Village of Jane Austen’s Emma very positively reviewed at the Daily Kos Monday Murder Mystery blog.
