Dr Seuss

I could not, would not, eat my beans Will not, will not, eat those spleens. I will not eat them soaked in sauce. I will not eat them just because. Not braised with jam! Not with my tea! Not sluiced with wine! You let me be! I do not like things from the bowels. I do not like it if it growls. I will not eat it in a bun. I do not like it rare or done. I do not like spleen, ditto tongue. The same, I say goes for lung. From Green Eggs and Ham - Dr. Seuss
