One can never have too many Dave's

Too Many Daves BY THEODOR GEISEL Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave Had twenty-three sons and she named them all Dave? Well, she did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do. You see, when she wants one and calls out, "Yoo-Hoo! Come into the house, Dave!" she doesn't get one. All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run! This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves' As you can imagine, with so many Daves. And often she wishes that, when they were born, She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm. And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim. And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey. And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey. Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face. Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face. And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff. One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff. And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed. And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed. And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate ... But she didn't do it. And now it's too late. can you imagine how crazy the house would have been if I had 23 Uncle Dave's, but I only Have Two and now One's with You the one you decided you needed back was like David and Goliath he never backed down from a Fight and his opponent took to flight from here to Thailand only to realize that he would meet his match again one day.

dear ole Uncle Dave

its been almost 2 months since we said goodbye you told me not to cry though I ask myself why when all I do is cry. you sent an angel in the form of two of your Favorite Animals. the first being a cat and the second being a Squirrel whom we have named Dave because like you he sits on the feeder and won;'t let anyone else eat (only you sat on your toy box) I fell asleep one night and there you were in my dreams looking at me and smiling saying its alright, things will work out. funny part is since that night work has not stopped In Fact the very next day I was offered a Maternity leave if she did not find an actual teacher. God took you too soon but he knew better than I that your job was done. Thank you for all you gave us you were Smarter than most Taught me all the Math I know (well dad helped) and that is more than Most. You knew when to give support and when to back away and let me grow. you were a dad when Dad was not there. you cared when others did not care. you gave when others would not. you had faith in me that I would Graduate when others maybe had none. So here is to you Dave the most thoughtful person anyone could ever know now off I go to scold a kitty who is lots like charlie with a bit o cammie mixed in fore she is eating the grass o what silly lass that there cat is.
