I want to make a Dr. Seuss cake for my son, Dawson's 5th birthday. I need help with a rhyme to put on the cake and I am not a poet.

Thanks

Here's an idea:

Today is special and very grand
For today we take Dawson to Birthday Land!

It will be fun and joyous and full of glee
There will be freinds and neighbors and family!

There will be presents and games and lots of fun toys
Plenty to share with all the girls and the boys!

That is good Susan!!!!

You could change family to the whole family tree, and then it would rhyme.

That's great Susan but I don't think I can squeeze all that on the cake... Was thinking of something a little shorter. I saw a cake with the cat in the hat with a short poem " Everyone Cheer, Every one Whoop, Everyone welcome the baby named Coop" or something like that. Rhyming with Dawson is difficult. Thanks for the ideas though.

Wow. You guys are really great. Love all the rhymes. What do you think about this one:

"Everyone hollor (misspelled?)
Everyone shout
Dawson's birthday
is about"

The cake with have the cat in the hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2 on it.

This is fun ... Keep them coming --

Don't eat green eggs
Or talk to the possum
It's been 5 years today
Since the birth of Dawson!

Ev'rybody yell,
Ev'rybody holler
Ev'rybody over 5
Give Dawson a dollar!

I wear a striped hat
and a little red bow
Dawson is 5
Don'cha know!

The first line is from "The Cat in the Hat":

I'm chiming in probably way too late, but here is what I did for my daughter's 2nd bday - the rhyme was on her party invitations~

Quote:
Quote:



The Cat in the Hat, the Things, 2 and 1
Birthday cupcakes, and lots of fun!

We'll all be here, for sure ~ that is that,
But that is not all, says the Cat in the Hat~
No, that is not all at all, says the Cat.

Annie is turning 2, it's true!
My how time flies, that's right - it flew!
It's time to celebrate with family and friends,
and bubbles and balls - the fun never ends!

We hope you'll join us, you know this is true
We hope you'll join us......
...Now what will you do?




Maybe the third stanza would work - Dawson is turning 5, it's true!
My, how time flies ~ that's right, it flew!...
