Dr. Seuss, Armitage Style.


In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday this week,
we bring you a Nat in the Hat special...

One Rich,
two Rich,
red Rich,
 blue Rich.
Black Rich,
blue Rich,
 old Rich,
 new Rich.

This one has a little star.
This one has a little car.
Say, what a lot of Richards there are!

Some are sad,
and some are glad,
and some are very, very bad.
Why are they sad and glad and bad?
I do not know, go ask your dad!

Some are thin
and none are fat

This one has a funny hat!

Here are some who like to run.
They run for fun in the hot, hot sun.
Why do they run around each other?
I do not know, go ask your mother!

Now you have had a little look
at the Armitage version of a Dr. Seuss book!

    I love the top black and white pic best. It's the Heathcliffe look and hopefully one day he will realise my personal dream and play that role in Wuthering Heights which was written just for him!

    As for him going grey. Never, never, never. It ages you terribly, keep dying it Richard.

    As for the poll on the right and "what hair colour would look best on Richard". I was going to click on "mine" but Nat that option wasn't included you naughty girl. (Or is that my description?)

    that RED RICH pic is probably his best I've ever seen here at your blog. Truly elegant and refined.

    Interesting DEZMOND. That is actually one of my least favorite pictures of him. But I love how we see things so differently. It would be so boring if we were in lock step.

    OT:

    Nat, regarding the hair color poll, how about the answer "don't care" or "either black or brown?" Just a thought.

    Breathing nitrous oxide, and I like to get my fix as often as I can.

    That's how I think of it.

    I happen to like RA's preppy red sweater look! :) I guess Dezmond and I are in the minority.

    Can I have that in print? Hee-hee.
    I'd much rather read this version than the original! Something about the pics...

    Natalie,

    I like his red sweater look too, so it's still a favorite -- just my least favorite. :D

    Maybe you can do a PDF file of your story?
