On July 30, 1974, Art Buchwald, with permission of Theodore Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss), made a column of the book, “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!”

It appears that Mr. Geisel sent his friend Buchwald a copy of the book and replaced “Marvin K. Mooney” and with “Richard M. Nixon.”

Buchwald wrote, “It sounded like fun so I asked him if I could reprint it” with the suggestion that it be read aloud.

Needless to say, do not have the writing chops of either the late Mssrs. Geisel or Buchwald, but this has to be shared.

At the bottom, is Keith Olbermann’s special comment from last night, saying the same.

“Richard B. Cheney will you please go now!
The time has come.
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go.
Go.
Go!
I don’t care how.
You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
Richard B. Cheney will you please go now!
You can go on skates.
You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat.
But
Please go.
Please!
I don’t care.
You can go
By bike.
You can go
On a Zike-Bike
If you like.
If you like
You can go
In an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!
Please do, do, do, DO!
Richard B. Cheney
I don’t care how.
Richard B. Cheney
Will you please
GO NOW!
You can go on stilts.
You can go by fish.
You can go in a Crunk-Car
If you wish.
If you wish
You may go
By lion’s tale.
Or stamp yourself
And go by mail.
Richard B. Cheney
Don’t you know
The time has come
To go, go, GO!
Get on your way!
Please Richard M.!
You might like going in a Zumble-Zay.
You can go by balloon . . .
Or broomstick.
Or
You can go by camel
In a bureau drawer.
You can go by bumble-boat
. . . or jet.
I don’t care how you go.
Just get!
Richard B. Cheney!
I don’t care how.
Richard B. Cheney
Will you please
GO NOW!
I said
GO
And
GO
I meant . . .
The time had come
So . . .
Richard WENT.”
