Welcome To the Cat In the Hat

The Cat in the Hat Invited me in, He stood on the mat saying "Come along in, Come in, come in, Come in I say, Enter, enter, Step this way. Would you like to take a chair? You can sit Here or there, You can sit Anywhere. Perhaps you'd like To sit right here, Sit down, Sit down, Sit down my dear. It's good to see you To see you is good Now what would you eat If only you could? Would it be fish, One fish or two, Red fish, green fish Or fish that is blue? I have the freshest fish Which you can have with Finney fries, The freshest fish dear Pop Will make you oh so wise." "I don't think I fancy fish. Can you recommend a different dish?" "You don't fancy fish, Not fish you say, Then can I recommend this, This dish if I may. How about green eggs and ham? It is a favourite Of Sam I am. Green eggs and ham Are very good You should try them You really should. I also have some Spam with jam. If you ask my friend, Dear Sam, He will tell you, how good it is, How good it is My Spam with jam. The look upon your face says No, Then let me have another go. I am good, I'm good at tricks, Watch me, watch me With chopsticks. I can make noodles red, Or purple sausages And pink bread. Yellow meat with orange peas, Would you like some of these? Or how about black milk to drink, Black milk to drink What do you think?" I couldn't stand anymore, "Stop stop, stop stop, I do implore. Just give me apples, Apples one, two and three, Apples with some apple tea, Some apples with some apple scone, I'll eat them up, Then I'll be gone." The Cat in the Hat said, "I'm sorry Pop, The apples all got the chop, When they dropped Off of the top, So apples are all off the menu, You will have to choose A different venue." 21st March 2017 I Need A Cup Of Seuss - poetry contest Sponsored by Jerry T Curtis
