Do you like green eggs and ham?
Seeing as it's just ham and eggs with food coloring, yeah, I can stomach it! 
Admittedly, while I admire Sam's persistence, I also relate with his friend. No one likes to be nagged or asked repeated questions about the same thing. And I was not a big fan of eggs growing up myself. I've only in the past few years grown to like them. Egg on toast is my mother's specialty; she always leaves the yolks soft (over-easy, is it?) so that we can dip the rest of the toast in that lovely yellow goodness. Daddy, on the other hand, preferred his fried eggs over-hard, because his mother flat-out refused to cook 'em that way when he was young.
How do y'all like your eggs? Do you like 'em with ham? Or would you prefer that eggs take a long walk off a short cliff?

Hmmm...or maybe it's NOT green food coloring!
This one is a special bow, as a local lady named Claudia Gage King made it. Miss Claudia is manager of the local Dollar Tree and sells hair bows as a side gig. Her coworkers also tell me that she's got a website, though I haven't yet found it. When I DO find it I'll update with a link. She's got some cute stuff in multiple sizes, and she told me that she was open to commissions.
As to Dr. Seuss...killecrankie, I think everyone loves Dr. Seuss, no matter how old they are. Green Eggs and Ham is one of those classics that remains popular in the current day. Indeed, I forget how many copies of the book my library has lost over the years. Jerks will check 'em out and just...not bring 'em back, fines be damned. As for me, I love how Sam-I-Am lets his unnamed friend's opening lines roll off his back.
UNNAMED FRIEND: That Sam-I-Am, that Sam-I-Am. I do not like that Sam-I-Am!
SAM (completely unfazed): Do you like green eggs and ham?
In typical Dr. Seuss fashion, chaos ensues from there. The protagonist swears that he would not, would not like the titular food on a boat, with a goat, in the rain, in the dark, in a tree, in a car (Sam, let me be!), in a box, with a fox, in a house, with a mouse, here, there, or anywhere. The line with the mouse always sent Mama into a tizzy, as she's terrified of mice. "I sure as hell WOULDN'T eat them with a mouse," she'd always say. Anyway, after this diatribe Sam sweet-talks his friend into trying the food...and the friend DOES like green eggs and ham. Thank you! Thank you, Sam-I-Am!
