Richad M. Nixon

Ted was friends with Art Buchwald at the height of the Watergate scandal in the mid 70's, and Mr. Buchwald had challenged Ted to write a political book for a change. Being the Seuss he was he quickly grabbed a copy of ``Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now!''a book published in 1972, and enjoyed some success, and edited in Richard M. Nixon at every mention of Marvin K. Mooney. Buchwald, at the time had a syndicated column in the newspapers, and asked permission from Ted to print it. Random House was against it, and with the agreement of Ted, on July 30, 1974 the following piece ran in the papers, with Buchwald taking full credit, and Ted taking full intent.

Richard M. Nixon, will you please go now!
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go.
Go.
Go!
I don't care how.
You can go by foot.
you can go by cow.
Richard M. Nixon, will you please go now!
You can go on skates.
You can go on skis.
You can go in hat 
But
Please go...
Please!...

Nine days later, on August 8, 1974 the citizens of the United States listened and watched as President Nixon, announced his resignation.
