Green Eggs and Ham

For Lunch today, I ate this delicious combination. Ever since reading the Dr Seuss book I have wondered...now I have eaten Green Eggs and Ham...found on the menu at The Good Egg.

English muffin, fresh arugula, sauteed mushrooms, shaved ham & 2 poached eggs under pesto w/ a sprinkle of parmesan.

Trying to remember the words of Dr Seuss, we trekked to Barnes & Noble and purchased the book (purportedly to send to our Great-Grandson Connor at The Battis Family).

For those blippers that don't know the story, here are some excerpts:

Do you like
green eggs and ham?

I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like
green eggs and ham.

Would you like them
Here or there?

I would not like them
here or there.
I would not like them
anywhere.
I do not like
green eggs and ham.
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am

You do not like them.
SO you say.
Try them! Try them!
And you may.
Try them and you may I say.

Sam!
If you will let me be,
I will try them.
You will see.

Say!
I like green eggs and ham!
I do!! I like them, Sam-I-am!
And I would eat them in a boat!
And I would eat them with a goat...
And I will eat them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good so good you see!

So I will eat them in a box.
And I will eat them with a fox.
And I will eat them in a house.
And I will eat them with a mouse.
And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them ANYWHERE!

I do so like
green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am
