A Cup of Seuss
Good evening, hello sir and how do you do,
Our special today here is dish number two.
Spam I am on a plate with a side of burgoo.
Would you like that? I'll bring it to you if you do.
That spam I am
That spam I am
I do not like that spam I am.
Would you like green eggs and ham?
Green eggs and ham? How very droll,
A cliché dish not fit for a troll.
Bring food that's exciting, bring something that's bold,
A dish that will make my poor taste buds explode.
Your chef's the great black and white cat I am told.
A man of discernment sir, that's what you are.
And here is a dish that has come from afar.
An exotic dish from the jungle of Nool,
A dish that will make all your tasting buds drool.
A fine bird nest stew made as big as a pool,
Garnished on top with a Whovian jewel.
Bird nest stew sir, that won't do sir,
I ate that in Solla Sollew sir.
Oh Solla Sollew on the banks of Wah-hoo,
Now there is a town that can make a good stew.
Create a creation for me that's brand new!
You want an original dish by our cat?
Perhaps a fruit salad of yams and loquat
with trufulla fruit and the juice of a yat
Served hot in Bartholomew Cubbins first hat.
What do you think? Do you think you'd like that?
I am a critic of food not of hats,
And I don't approve of the squeezing of yats.
If that is the best that your cat can create,
I tell you right now that he can't be called great.
You say you're a critic, why that's something new,
Who doesn't enjoy our fruit salad or stew,
Who will not eat spam and disdains our burgoo,
I think I'll consult with thing 1 and thing 2.
Please hurry dumbwaiter you're wasting my time.
I need to eat food that is sweet and sublime.
A meal of such goodness I'd call it a crime,
And bring to an end this ridiculous rhyme.
Here sir, have an orange.
