The Cancel Leeches
Cancel this, Cancel that!
This is not good anymore say the Leeches
We need to make the world a better place
First it was Roses
They were Too Red
Go, go Go!
Away with it
say the Leeches
What about this? Will this work says the boy
No, no, no! This will not work at all they say
It does not fit in with Cancel Culture World!
It must go! It must go now!
Its too bright they say and too fun!
Cancel it, Cancel it now!
We have always been eating grapes says the boy
Not anymore say the leeches
Too green and too purple!
Not proper for this new world
Cancel, Cancel, Cancel they shout
Can I at least have my bike says the boy
The one with the two seater seat?
Let me take a look says the head Cancel Leech
Oh no no no no no!
It is way to shiny and too blue!
It has too many wheels and too many seats
It's unthinkable to drive a two wheeler bike in this politically charged world!
Cancel it, Cancel it before I scream!
The leeches keep going with their Clipboards
Chanting, not this, not that
Cancel, Cancel, Cancel!
They see the boys sister holding a worn teddy bear
Their eyes open wide, We have
to take that bear It's all wrong! Too fuzzy and to gray! Cancel it!
NO says her brother!
You will not take that bear!
We will and we will do it quick says the Leeches!
Cancel it Quick they chant
STOP says the boy!
You Leeches need to STOP
At first your cause was noble
by cancelling thorns from roses
but then you started cancelling their leaves too!
Then you cancelled certain color roses and said they were bad because they were yellow, then later the red ones! Until all roses were banned
Then you cancelled chairs, and the sofas too
Then Chimneys, because Santa was cancelled too
Then is was cat nip and bobby pins were too sharp
You Need to STOP!
You will not take that Bear!
The leeches dropped the bear
and gave the boy a stare
Maybe the boy is right said the smallest leech
I do miss my bobby pin to tie up my leech hair
They packed up their clipboards and their never ending list and and left with a defeated kind of look
You can have back your bear says the brother
The children will never forget the leeches came
to their house one cold day
They wished for better days, fun days like when the Cat came.
They wonder where the Cat has been
It has been such a long time
Maybe he is on a trip, maybe he is
on a new adventure!
It has been a long day
The girl looks down at her bear and smiles with glee, you are not going anywhere Teddy Bear
This Story is dedicated to my one of my hero's
Dr. Seuss for writing such rich children stories that can not match any other children's book. It inspired my mind with creativity and helped me to dream and imagine. Thank you Dr. Seuss
