Happy Birthday to You!
"If you'd never been born, well what would you be?
You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a door knob! Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes!
Or worse than all that... why, you might be a
WASN'T!
A Wasn't has no fun at all. No, he doesn't.
A Wasn't just isn't. He just isn't present.
But you... you ARE YOU! And now, isn't that pleasant!"
-- Dr. Seuss, from Happy Birthday To You!

Awww, this is so great! I love Dr. Seuss and I love this poem. Thanks for posting it and showing it to me today, on my birthday!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind thoughts.
nice post .. and nice thoughts :)
Awesome birthday thoughts from the greatest doctor of them all. Thanks, Dan!
Thank you very much Dan. I was smiling before now I am positively grinning like a mad Cheshire cat.
Karen is right - Dr. Seuss DOES rock!
And if I'd never been born, I'd never have known Dan Johnson Jr., and my never-life would have been even less than it wasn't!
It just wouldn't have been as good as life with knowing Dan.

I love Dr. Seuss! Green Eggs and Ham is the best book ever about sales (someone once told me...). Thanks for thinking of me
That is one of the best birthday quotes out there! Thanks Dan!

Cheers, Dan. Like D.G., I'm glad to be amongst such select company.
Nothin' like kind thoughts to start a birthday morning. And through a Dr. Seuss quote--even better! Thanks, Dan!

Thanks Daniel! Very cool :) here's to a year of us not be a 'wasn't' - hope to see you soon!
I love it! My little brother's birthday is on Dr. Seuss day and I'm going to send him this.
Thank you so much Dan. You are the Man!

Dan, I adore Dr.Seuss. Thanks for sending his profound Birthday Message my way. Hats-Off and Smiles to You !~
thanks Dan! Who would want to be a Wasn't Today is a greater day with your wishes.
Man you're the best. Remembering my b'day, shouting out a # way less than the real #, and Dr Seuss to boot...on a box, with a fox, wearing sox (with apologies to the good Dr.).
Thanks Danie;
Thanks so much Daniel!
