Green Eggs & Ham (for Jewish kids)

Ahhhhh, Jewish humor! A friend sent me the following in an email. I don't know where she got it, but when I first read it I giggled like a little girl. I felt the need to post it here:

The National Education Association is celebrating "Read Across America" by encouraging adults to read to children. Of course, Green Eggs and Ham is one of the most popular Dr. Seuss books. And, there's the dilemma-how can Jewish kids celebrate with green eggs and HAM? So, in honor of (and with apologies to the estate of Dr. Seuss) here's a new ending for the story.

Will you never see?

They are not KOSHER, so let me be!

I will not eat green eggs and ham.

I will not eat them, Sam-I-am.

But I'll eat green eggs with a biscuit!

Or I will try them with some brisket.

I'll eat green eggs in a box,

If you serve them with some lox.

And those green eggs are worth a try,

Scramble up in matzoh brie!

And in a boat, upon a river,

I'll eat green eggs with chopped liver!

So if you're a Jewish Dr. Seuss fan,

But troubled by green eggs and ham,

Let your friends in on the scoop,

Green eggs taste best with chicken soup!

And...
