The Lyrics

~

Sometimes it’s hard when proselytizin’
Pouring all one’s passion into ‘ham’
Then havin’ to beg—
“Please try with green eggs”
Seuss’s ‘yolk’s on ewe’—we’ve only lamb!

And if you try them—you will like them
With a mouse-in-house you’ll find them grand
So since you’ll love them
Stop sayin’ “Shove ‘em”
And that they smell like moldrin’ Spam™!

Canned Sam-I-Am!
Seuss said “Too few ‘Eggs’ sellin’”
Though through whole book I’m yellin’:
“EAT THEM, GODDAMN—you pinhead!”

Sam’s really canned?
I’d still be egging-on if
I acted more ‘Jean Claude Van Damme’
Tanned, bi, bored ham!

Planned Sam-I-Am…
Reveal this Seuss-y shocker:
“That Geisel’s no real ‘Doctor’ man”
‘Scammed by your s’ha-a-am’!”

~
I'd like to acknowledge AFW for resurrecting this classic OS with several fine recent parodies, and especially TT for his invaluable advice, most particularly regarding my often 'faultee' pacing, er, 'scansion' issues and for the MIDI link. He is one TalentedTutor!

I would read this day and night
I would read your latest write
I would read this in my sleep
I would read; laugh till I weep

I would read this endlessly
I would read this, TJC
I would, unequivoc'lly,
I would vote this Five by Three!

One Five, Two Fives,
And some new Fives!
You are due Fives
I give you Fives!
This one has a funny switch
This one is with humor, rich
Plus, this has not a single glitch!

It's more than "bad"
This one is rad
This one has made me very glad
Why is it bad and rad and glad?
'Cause TJC's one funny lad!

How can you help but make up parodies to this song. It is one of those irritating songs that gets stuck in your head. When that was on the top ten it made me turn off the radio, because it congered up an image of two rednecks in a trailor with too many kids, a husband sitting by the TV drinking beer and a wife cleaning up after the whole family. Anyway, good mangleing.

Thanks guys: Kristof... I'll have to dial back to '75 to get that referrence... me thinks! Alvin... thanks and I believe 'beauty' is in the 'snuv' of the beholder! AFW: Gracias, and nice pun! Tommy: Thanks so much for the poetic compliment...and I can see you easily give that ol' Geisel a run for his funny! Based on your parody today, though, I'd have expected something more along the lines of: Fun hitch, Goo hitch, Bed *itch, Spew niche! (I hope to hell that scansion's right!). 2Eagle: Thanks!
