It has often been said
there’s so much to be read,
you never can cram
all those words in your head.
So the writer who breeds
more words than he needs
is making a chore
for the reader who reads.
That’s why my belief is
the briefer the brief is,
the greater the sigh
of the reader’s relief is.
Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.
Seuss is one of my favourite writers and I get why … I battle to write lots of words lol

They say that easy reading is difficult writing. He certainly set the bar. Unfortunately he wasn’t around when I was a kid. Had some favourite sayings before I realised he was one and the same person.
