An unrelated poem by Seuss titled "Did I Ever Tell You..?" was published in Redbook magazine in February 1956.[a][1]

Plot[edit]

The text consists of a series of descriptive poems, fictively told to an unnamed listener by a wise old man. The man describes a variety of whimsically wretched characters and unfortunate situations, in comparison with which the listener might be considered exceptionally fortunate.

Adaptations[edit]

An audio version by John Cleese was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children in 1994.[2][3]
