Green Eggs And Ham

A classic children's book by my favorite poet: TheodorGeisel aka DoctorSeuss.

Published by Random House, Green Eggs and Ham [1] ISBN 0394800168 , is well worth the 5 minutes required to read it, and provides a wonderful lesson about trying things before condemnation.

Or, how pressure makes one give in to annoying marketers. Green Eggs and Spam, perhaps?

 I do not like OO.

 Would you try it in the snow?

 No, not in the snow, not with a crow.
 Let me be, you Sam-I-Am.
 I do not, can not, like OO.
 Let me be, now please Sam go!

 Will you try it with lose types?
 Will you try it with no hypes?
 Will you try it without DOM
 Will you try it and be calm?

 No, I do not want to see OO
 Watch my mouth, it says "no"!
