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.

Another one Putt Putt. Another one Moon Face.

Another one Marvin O’Gravel Balloon Face.

And one of them Zanzibar Buck Buck McFate…

But she didn’t do it. And now it’s too late.

~ Dr. Seuss
