The Stick That Stood In One Spot

With the cancelling of Dr. Seuss, I took it upon myself to pen a new children's tale that is assured to captivate young minds in a less challenging and more culturally suitable manner.


Enjoy. Or do not enjoy. I do not want to tell you what to think. I apologize for not checking my privilege. Please do not cancel me.

 

I AM A STICK.

I STAND IN ONE SPOT.


I CANNOT GO FOR A WALK.

OR HAVE A NICE TALK.


BECAUSE I AM A SKINNY STICK.

THAT STANDS IN ONE SPOT.


Editor’s Note: We have just received word that the characteristic "skinny” may be offensive to some readers whose body identification is “rounded” or “shapely”. We have revised this story accordingly.


I AM A SQUARE.

I STAND IN ONE PLACE.


MY SIDES ARE THE SAME.

MATH IS TO BLAME.


BECAUSE I AM JUST A SQUARE.

THAT STANDS IN ONE PLACE.


Editor’s Note: We have just received word that the depiction of a “black” square may be offensive to some readers whose racial identification is “Black” or “non-white”. We have revised this story accordingly.




I AM BLANK SPACE.

I DO NOT STAND IN ANY PLACE.


YOU CANNOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM ME.

OR BE TICKLED WITH GLEE.


BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY EMPTY SPACE.

WHEN ALL ELSE IS ERASED.


THE END
