Say!

I like green eggs and ham!

I do, I like them Sam-I-am!

And I would eat them in a boat.

And I would eat them with a goat…

And I will eat them in the rain.

And in the dark . And on a train.

And in a car. And in a tree.

They are so good, so good, you see!

Theodore Seuss Geisel, Green Eggs and Ham (1960)

They used to have fish on the menu…that was smoked, grilled and peppered…They did everything to this fish but pistol-whip it and dress it in Bermuda shorts. – William E. Geist
