Cup of Seuss Mousse

For starters I'll order the tripe
Wrapped in dark blue plums, just ripe
Painted with a bright red-white stripe
Dabbed with green spots from icing-bag pipe

Next, I'll have the fish, grilled just right
Flambéed with whiskey set alight
On a bed of cockles, shut up tight
Wrapped in seaweed. What a sight!

For sweets I'd like the chocolate mousse
With eggs, cream and bitter lime juice
All gooey and creamy, sure to seduce
My cravings for sugar and a cup of Seuss

Lovely work of art. Suitable for nursery rhymes.
