Notes About The Poem

Dr Seuss Menu of Clams Or Ham and Cheese

Echelon; let’s take a quick stop at my favorite restaurant. I feel a little funny. I need food in my tummy. I have not much money, but my tummy is empty. Waiter, get me some peas and a glass of tea with plenty of honey. The waiter asked while he went past, Would you like clams or ham and cheese with your tea and peas? Decisions, decisions, which one of these shall I have? I do like them both. Maybe, I should have clams and a half or ham and cheese. My aunt Chalant makes the best ham and cheese. Clams make me sneeze, ill at ease not a disease. Gee weez! Shall I get on my knees? Please! Bring my tea and peas. What shall I do? I have not much money, but my tummy is empty. Should I have clams and sneeze, or shall I have ham and cheese, or shall I have both a troth. Decisions, decisions, shall I just have tea and peas? 4/13/2017
