Salaam-of-Siam

Green Eggs are Haram

by

Dr Ibn-Seuss

Did you know green eggs are haram?

I do not like them, Salaam-of-Siam-I-am.

I do not like green eggs or ham—for they are haram.

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 or ham—for they are haram.

I do not like them, Salaam-of-Siam-I-am.

Would you like them in a mosque?

Would you like them at a kiosk?

I do not like them in a mosque.

I do not like them at a kiosk.

I do not like them here or there.

I do not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs or ham—for they are haram.

I do not like them, Salaam-of-Siam-I-am.

Would you eat them with a camel?

Would you eat them with any mammal?

Not with a camel. Not with any mammal.

Not in a mosque. Not at a kiosk.

I would not like them here or there.

I would not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham—for they are haram.

I do not like them, Salaam-of-Siam-I-am.

Would you? Could you? In a bazaar?

Eat them! Eat them! Here they are!

I would not, could not, in a bazaar.

I would behead you, if you dare to go too far.

You may like them. On the Hajj!

You may like them as a mirage!

I would not, could not on the Hajj.

Not as a mirage.  Not in a bazaar. You let me be!

Lest you be behead, Ed !

I do not like them in a mosque.

I do not like them at a kiosk.

I do not like them with a camel.

I do not like them with any mammal.

I do not like them here or there.

I do not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham—for they are haram.

I do not like them, Salaam-of-Siam-I-am.

A plane! A plane! A plane! A plane!

Could you, would you, on a plane?

Not on a plane! Not on the Hajj!

Not in a bazaar.  Not as a mirage.

Now, let me be!

Lest you be behead, Ed !

I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM—for they are HARAM.

I do not like them, Salaam-of-Siam-I-am!

And I needn’t add

That the only ham

To be had

Is Mohamm—

Ed.

(Peace Be Upon Ham).
