Susan's Place Transgender Resources

The classic story by Doctor Seuss was written using only fifty different words. Wikipedia lists them, but who wants to take a stab at putting together the list without peeking?

Write the entire list of 50 or just a few?

I'd guess the obvious: green  ;D

and for the record, I would dine with a mouse, they can be quite entertaining dinner guests. Unless they are of the type that wants to remove your brain to get to the ultimate question.

Oooooh-kay...I should really be sleeping, but this is Dr. SEUSS.

Would not, could not (for sure.)

I'm also wanting to rhyme "tree" with "be," and "chair" with "anywhere"...

Fingers crossed :)

All right, I guess Doctor Seuss outsmarted the whole biggleteeque community. I'll dash off a note saying the fifty word story has us completely stumped..........NO, I WON'T!  C'mon now! Hugs, Devlyn

Um, isn't there a part like "Will you eat then on a train?"
Or did i miss train?

Yes, but all those words have already been guessed and are on the list.

I'm going to guess "me"

Me is added to the list.

perhaps 'park'

I'm so tempted to look it up.  I hate not knowing.  But I won't.
