Yeah, we know, Dr. Seuss Day are tomorrow. But Texas Independence Day are also tomorrow and some things take prezuhdents. We is da LONE STAR CATS after all and 2 outta 3 of us is named after defenders of da Alamo. So we is doing dis Seussical thing a lil bit early. I posed wit Thing 1 and Thing 2 (da catnip ones - I better specify since I also call Brinley and Kinley dat).
My BFF wuz taste-testing da air, wishin for some bacon. Which got me to thinking . . .
Shhh, Angelique, I wuz thinkin and it are NOT a rare event. Ya know what my favorite Seuss story are??? Green Eggs and Ham (I'll take em in any color, thank you!) So I thought I'd rewrite da story for me. It goes kinda like dis.
I would like them Kim-I-Am,
I would love me some green eggs and ham.
I would like them here or there.
I would like them anywhere.
I would love some green eggs and ham.
Yes, I would like them, Kim-I-Am.
I would like them in a house.
I would like them with a mouse (double YUMMM!)
I would like them anywhere.
I would like some green eggs and ham.
Now hand them over, Kim-I-Am.
I would eat them in a box (double fun, am I right?)
I would eat them with a fox.
I would eat them in a house.
With a side-serving of mouse.
I'd dine on them in a tree.
In a car, just feed me.
I'd love them on a train.
I'd eat them in the rain.
I would eat them with a goat (cabrito!)
Or even on a boat.
Stop teasing me Kim-I-Am.
And hand over da green eggs and ham!
Yeah, I don't know how dat Sam dude wuz talking too in da original, but what a picky jerk! He shoulda just given da eggs and ham to da cat.
Ackshually, handing food over to da cat are ALWAYS a good idea. Happy Dr. Seuss Day!
P.S. Apparently Facebook (and Instagram) have decided my blog violates Community Standards. Abusive to what?? PORK?? Nudity??? Only of kitty cats. Ridiculous!! Momma are tryin to figure out how to appeal this, but it is beyond complicated. Hisses to FB and IG!
I don't blog on Saturday so I did Dr. Seuss Day today too. Love the poem.
ReplyDeleteYay for green eggs and ham!! We have those all the time here. You just smoosh some avocado around and voila, there you have it! That Dr. Seuss was a healthy eater!
ReplyDeleteHappy Dr.Seuss day! That was a great poem. I hope you can get your FB account sorted out. I can't see how they can object to you when you hear of some of the extreme things they do nothing about.
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteYay to Seussicals!!!
Fb etc are on a bit of a bender because there has been so much in the news of late... but now it seems they are targeting totally innocent ones. Algorithms are only as good as the pooters running them! Good luck with the appeal. Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Love your poem! Happy Dr Seuss Day!

ReplyDeleteHappy Dr. Seuss Day. ♥
Hmm . . . Travis, you might want to stay away from those "green eggs." They might be kind of the stinky and not so fresh kind. 'Cause aren't eggs supposed to be purple or pink or maybe even yellow? I've never seen green eggs before, at least not the ones that Mom collects from the Easter bunny. Tee hee hee. Winks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Dr. Seuss Day ! Purrs
