Green Eggs and Hamlet
By Lia!
I do not like green eggs and Hamlet!
I do not like eggs, fried or scramb-let!
I hath heard! The prof hath ramb-let!
Hamlet, Hamlet, eggs and ham
I do not like them Sam-I-Am
Or am I not? Or am I am?
For an exam I too must cram
But writing this damn
Report I am
On Hamlet
Hamster
Hammy Man
To comprehend, to grasp, to see
In this to be or not to be
From this report I could be free
If I found the answer to this question
Hamlet makes a fine suggestion
Often I myself have felt
Hope my too-sullied flesh would melt
But, as I have anticipated
Shakespeare may be overrated
Willie Shake
Keeps me awake
With a nervous quake
As often with myself I fight
This essay I don’t want to write
I WILL NOT WRITE IT!
In a box
I will not write it
With a fox
I will not write it
In a house
I will not write it
With a mouse
I will not write it
Here or there
I will not write it
ANYWHERE!
Like Sam-I-Am’s
Green Eggs and Ham
This Hamlet ham’s
Beyond my span
Of culinary pleasure
I prefer for such leisure
Measure For Measure
But I digress
In fact – regress
I fear that Shakey may oppress
My cognitive functions melt like snow
And I know
Not where to go
This essay may be just so-so
Oh no!
I may taste green eggs and ham
If I eat them with toast and jam
After all – it sure beats spam!
I’ve reached the point of I-Don’t-Care
This essay is a go-no-where
Of brain cells I have none to spare
Beware!
But now on you, green eggs , I dine
And do feel Hamlet’s mighty fine
Or so he may be seen
Even if he’s seen in green
Though really, truly, this little snack
Really, truly, should be black
But now I see, I’ve found the knack
To overcome this stress attack!
I see now, Willie, what you mean
And, though it’s silly
Hamlet’s green!
And though my cortex may be scrambled
Those of the Vortex are all in shambles
Cerebral vortex – oops – I ramblet
I’ll write my exams – severely cram-let
And dine upon green eggs and Hamlet
