Grands Do Seuss

Upset by an abrupt bedtime drop-off,
finally finished with "But, I want Dad"  i was once told to place quotes on their own lines, while it's not always workable, i think it is in this poem [it would add a bit of tension]
he sneaks a sidelong glance at the I-Pad.
"What percent do you have? I like Green Eggs and Ham."
We consider the choices: Read to me, read it myself, auto-play. i'm not exactly sure who's saying what and why?

Out leaps Sam. "I am Sam, Sam I am."
A flick turns the page, each word repeated
as many times as a young finger can click.
Sam still tries the unknown; we still grin when he likes it.

In makeshift pajamas fashioned
from drawstring Capris his aunt left behind,
giggles break through sleepover tears.
