Heard Ted Cruz reciting that, but this word/name made no sense to me. Not that reading a children's poem in Congress makes much sense to me in the first place, but that still occupied my mind.
It's typical Dr. Seuss prose. He uses it frequently in his books, I think likely to make the text more entertaining for children. Instead of saying "I am Sam" the character in Green Eggs and Ham says "Sam I am". Just think of how Yoda talks, which I know is funny as in most languages Yoda's sentence structure would be correct. Or more correct anyways.
