Jojo, Son of the Whoville Mayor

We're Who's here, We are Whos here,
Smaller than the eye can see...

I'm the mayor of Who. Why, I've just been elected.
And upright behavior is thus forth expected.
We just had a talk with your teachers today
And they didn't have one single good thing to say!
You invented new Thinks which defy all description!
You gave Miss O'Dooley a nervous conniption!
Your Thinks were so wild they disrupted your classes
And made Mrs. Mackel-Who drop her new glasses!
...We don't mean to scold you. We love you, oh yes, dear.
But couldn't you try thinking just a bit less, dear?
...Now take your bath and go to bed.
And think some normal Thinks instead!

This might be a pool like I've read of in books,
Connected to one of those underground brooks
An underground river that starts here and flows
Right under this bathtub and then--who knows?
It's possible! Anything's possible!

Alone in the universe...

Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm thinking of you,
And wishing we all were in Solla Sollew.

Follow your hunch, follow it,
Follow your hunch, follow it,
Follow your hunch, follow it...HOME!
Anything's possible!!

JoJo, think of something!!

Now just for a moment, young JoJo looked grim,
The fate of the Whos rested squarely on him!
But then came a Think, a peculiar new word.
The kind of a word no one ever had heard!

YOPP!!!!

Horton: Do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I mean?
They made themselves heard though they still can't be seen!

...Their troubles were ended,
They hailed his great YOPP!
And JoJo was honored
As "Thinker Non-Stop!"
