He's just plain confused. It's nothing like The Cat In The Hat and much
more like Gilbert and Sullivan. The cadence is nothing like Seuss. And I
still contend that it was at least unconsciously written to the tune of
Turkey In The Straw.
Just because the author thinks its in a particular style doesn't make it
so.
