Oh, the places you'll go



A knock on the door Monday evening brought an invitation for Valesca. Brad and I will be gone, but Grandpa said she could still go.

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head
You have feet in you shoes
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose

For Prom is the dance
That is coming to school
So work out this puzzle
This must be your rule.

With your head full of brains
And your shoes full of feet
Look through your yard
For eight eggs, so discreet.

And you may not find any
Without looking hard
For I've hidden them everywhere
'Round your front yard

Each one has a puzzle piece
Hidden inside
Find all of the pieces
To help you decide

Who put them there?
You must have a clue
For someone as brainy
And footsy as you.

Now put them together
Say! We're moving along!
Now you know the one
Who picked you out of the Throng
Now you know who
With your brains and your feet
Would like to take you
Because you're so sweet

Please answer yes
Oh, The places you'll go!
It would be helpful
To have this in-fo

The brains in my head
Are done with this rhyme
Have a wonderful day
In the meantime.

She answered him with a Dr. Seuss poem referring to "Green Eggs and SPAM".
