If Dr. Seuss wrote the Ten Commandments

I am God, your one and only.
Stick with me; you won't be lonely.
Other gods you may not chase.
I will not stand for second place.

Hear my words, Sir and Madame.
You may not do it; God I am.

I do not like false gods and idols.
Golden calves make me homicidal.
Neither raise to take their places
Money, power, or pretty faces.

Make the Sabbath your special day.
Don't sully it in any way.
Keep it apart (however oddly)
Let it make your lives more godly.

Do not take my name in vain.
Do not say it with disdain.
Combine it not with other curses.
Use it not in slangy verses.

Honor both your mom and dad.
If you don't, you'll wish you had.
Respect their wishes, keep them true,
Thank them for the life in you.

Keep yourself close to your spouse.
Do not stray outside your house.
Two hearts united make you stronger,
Plus, science says that you'll live longer.

Do not murder, do not kill.
Not even if they neighbor will.
Killing folks is wrong to do.
It separates the Lord from you.

Do not steal and do not lie.
Ask me and I'll tell you why.
Thieves and liars are proven sinners.
God in you makes you all winners.

Covet not thy neighbor's stuff.
I say what you have's enough.
That goes for PCs, jewels, and savings,
And any of your other cravings.

These are Commandments, not suggestions.
You can pray if you have questions.
Love the Lord with all your heart
And from His path you won't depart.
