A Vampire Ode to Green Eggs and Ham - PG
This outrageous bit of silliness was written in late February, 2008, in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. (Sorry Ted.)
AB That Way (A Vampire Ode to Green Eggs and Ham - slightly pared down)
Mick:
That Josef K, that Josef K
I do not like that Josef K
Josef:
Do you like AB that way ? *points to a raven-haired freshie*
I do not like it, Josef K
I do not like AB that way
Would you like it blond or red?
I would not like it blond or red
I like my bottled stuff instead
I do not like AB that way
I do not like it, Josef K.
Would you like it on the couch?
Come on man - don’t be a grouch.
I do not like it on the couch
I do not - I am not a grouch
I do not like it blond or red
I do not like it in my bed
I do not like AB that way
I do not like it, Josef K
Would you taste it from a wrist?
Now from a neck would be a twist.
Not from a wrist
Not with a twist
Not on a couch
I’m not a grouch
Not blond or red
Not in my bed
I would not try AB that way
I do not like it, Josef K
Would you, could you
take a taste?
Bite them, bite them
Don't let it waste
I would not, could not
take a taste
You may like them
They’re so fresh
You may like them
In the flesh!
I would not, could not in the flesh
I don’t care if they are fresh!
I do not like it from a wrist
Not from a neck, not with a twist
I do not like it on a couch
(Just so you know – I like the pouch)
I do not like them blond or red
I do not like them in my bed
I would not try AB that way
I do not like it, Josef K
You do not like AB that way?
I do not like it, Josef K.
You don’t like freshies – so you say.
Try them, try them and you may.
Try them and you may, I say.
Josef! If you will let me be.
I will try them. You will see.
* Hesitantly samples a wrist *
Say! I do like AB that way!
I do! I like it, Josef K!
I will take it in the flesh
It’s really good when they are fresh!
And I will take it from a wrist
And from a neck with just a twist
And I will try it on a couch
I see the light – forget the pouch
And I will try them blond or red -
I think I like them in my bed.
I will take AB that way
It’s so much better, Josef K
I do so like AB that way!
Thank you!
Thank you, Josef K!

Thanks, greenleaf! My poor son wanted to know why Mommy was reading his book so intently at the computer.

Lilly,
I'm with jen....this is not only precious, it's very well done....while I'd love to see this acted out, I'm not sure either Jason or Alex could keep a straight face.....

This is just so perfect!! The cadence is true to the good doctor, while the word play is true to the personalities of Mick and Josef.

Thanks for bringing this back up to the top, jen. I just love this, Lilly. So Seuss and yet so Moonlight, something Morticia might have read to her little nippers?

Have not read this in forever... Lilly, you're amazing. The most versatile writer we got. Parody, comedy, drama, dark, heart-warming... you've written it all.
