Green Eggs and Ham Parody...


A Mouse in the House"
By Mr. Felt

A parody of the following work "GREEN EGGS AND HAM" By Dr. Seuss

I am Nate
I am Nate
Nate the Great

Do you like
a mouse in your house?

I do not like it,
says Nate the great.
I do not like
it makes me irate.

Would you like it
here or there?

I would not like it
here or there.
I would not like it
anywhere.
I do not like
a mouse in my house.
this I hate,
for I am Nate the great.

Would you like it
in a cage?
Would that then
alleviate your rage?

I do not want it
in a cage.
that would not
alleviate my rage.
I do not want it
here or there.
I do not want it
anywhere.
I do not like a mouse in my house.
it makes me irate, for I am Nate the great.

Would you catch him
in a box?
Would you feed it
to a fox?

Not with a box.
Not to a fox.
Not in my house.
Not that mouse.
I do not want it here or there.
I do not want it anywhere.
I would not like a mouse it my house.
it makes me irate, for I'm Nate the great.

Would you? Could you?
Live in your car?
Live there! Sleep there!
And Drive your car.

I would not,
could not,
live in my car.

You may like him.
You will see.
You may make him
Your family!

I would not, he could not be family.
Nor I live in my car! While he be the star.

I will not catch him in a box.
I will not feed him to a fox.
I do not want him in my house.
I do not want this little mouse.
I do not want it here or there.
I do not want him anywhere.
I will not live out of my car.
He should be the one leaving far

A train! A train!
A train! A train!
Could you, would you,
Live on a train?

No to a train! No to my car!
No to this mouse! I’m Nate! It’s my house!

I will not catch him in a box.
I could not feed him to a fox.
I do not want this little mouse.
I do not want him in my house.
I do not want him here or there.
I will not want him anywhere.
I do not care if the mouse may plea.
It is my house, let me be.

What if only at night?
He chose to delight…
In your house, would you accept that mouse?

I would not, could not,
Even in the night.

Would you, could you, if it rained?

I would not, could not,
Even if it rained.
Nor in the night. Nor will I live on a train.
Nor my car, the disdain!.
This mouse is not right for me.
Not in my house. Not in a box.
Not with a friend, not in my sox.
I do not want him here or there.
I do not like him anywhere!

You do not like
This little mouse?

No, I do not!
Not in my house!.

Could you, would you,
If he paid in cash?

I would not,
could not,
if he gave all his stash!

Would you, could you,
If he granted wishes?

I would rather have a itchy rash
Then take any of his cash
I will kick him out in the rain.
Rather than live on a train.
Not at night! I must be free!
Nor live in my car! You let me be!
I do not want him in a box.
Nor could I feed him to a fox.
I do not want him in my house.
I do not like this little mouse.
I do not like him here or there.
I do not like him ANYWHERE!

I do not want a mouse in my house

This makes me irate, I’m Nate the great!

You do not like Him.
So you say.
Meet Him! Greet Him!
And you may.
Meet him and you may, I say.

Alter personality,
If you will let me be,
I will meet him.
You will see.

Say!
What a cute little mouse!
That has moved in to my house!
I will not force him in the rain.
to do such a thing would be insane

He can walk about in the day, and the night.
Use my toothbrush, and sleep in my bed, oh what a sight!
For he is so cute, so cute, you see!

So I will put him in a box.
And still not feed him to a fox.
I will let him in my house.
And I will befriend this little mouse.
And his friends will join him here and there.
And diseases will be EVERYWHERE!

I do so like
This little mouse!
Come!
Join me,
In my house!
