In honor of the amazing Dr. Seuss’ birthday today, I felt a little inspired to write a little poem about Wyoming. \u00a0Now, I’m not a poet, and believe me, I know it… But I digress and will give my rhyming a rest. \u00a0So if you don’t mind taking a moment or three, and reading my poem — this is Wyoming to me…<\/p>\n
