''You're Only Old Once! A Book for Obsolete Children'' is a 1986 picture book for adults by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel). Released on Geisel's eighty-second birthday,〔Diane Mason. "('You're Only Old Once' so relax with Dr. Seuss' )". ''St. Petersburg Times''. March 25, 1986. Retrieved on July 2, 2009.〕 the book follows an elderly man on a visit to the Golden Years Clinic, where he endures long waits and bizarre medical tests. ''You're Only Old Once!'' was written shortly after Geisel had suffered through a series of illnesses, during which he spent a considerable amount of time in hospital waiting rooms. To pass the time, he began sketching images of hospital machines and scenes of medical procedures. He later began to work those ideas into a book. Geisel quipped that he was "fed up with a social life consisting entirely of doctors".〔Judith and Neil Morgan. ''(Dr. Seuss & Mr. Geisel )''.

''The Seven Lady Godivas'' sold fewer than 500 copies when it was first released,〔Ruthe Stein. "Dr. Seuss for Grownups: The famous children's author writes one for gray-haired former kids".
