A Cat Sipping Juice

The word...belike (perhaps)

You don't want to be like Dr. Seuss
Who wrote about the constant abuse,
Of a cross-eyed Canada goose 
And a three-antlered female moose.
Belike you had better stay loose
And write about an Indian papoose,
Maybe an outlaw with neck in a noose,
Or a Cheshire cat sipping juicy-juice,
Even the Afghan Taliban calling a truce.
Oh well, maybe not, what's the use?
