Today is Dr Seuss Day 2020! My sisters tell me they look forward to this day every year. Dr Seuss had so many fun books, it makes for fun blog posts. Emma was a big fan of his books, her favorite being Go, Dog, Go because of the hats. She wrote her own short version of the book back in 2012.
Since it is my first Dr Seuss Day, my sisters asked me to do today’s post. I agreed. After going through lots of his books, I settled on Green Eggs and Ham for my choice.
It’s not easy trying to write like that guy did. He makes it all so fun, and the words rhyme. Luckily, I had a lot of advance notice to work on my own text. Once I got into the groove, it was rather fun! Thank goodness Bailie let me borrow her Dr Seuss thinking cap! She did a really fun post last year about nose work, but I am not old enough to be as creative as she is.
Okay, here it goes…my rendition of Green Eggs and Ham…and, yes, we made some real green eggs and ham for my story.
Green Eggs And Ham, Yes Ma’am!
Olivia I am,
And I say woof to green eggs and ham!
I will eat them here or there.
I will eat them anywhere.
I would eat them in my house.
I would eat them with a side of mouse.
I’ll take a portion in the car,
Or wherever the green eggs are.
I love eggs in red or blue or green,
In any color, eggs are a fine cuisine.
I’ll eat green eggs and ham,
But not green eggs and spam.
No ma’am,
Hold it with the spam!
Olivia I am,
But I don’t do spam.
Would I eat at night in the dark?
How about in a local park?
Why yes, I would eat green eggs and ham in the dark,
And in a local park.
I like green eggs and ham!
Yes, Olivia I am!
I will enjoy them in my house,
And with a side of mouse.
I’ll eat green eggs and ham in the car,
If that is where they are.
I’ll eat eggs in any color, even green,
Because they are a fine cuisine.
I’ll always eat green eggs and ham,
But never eat green eggs and spam.
I’ll eat them at night in the dark
Even at our local park.
I do like my green eggs and ham,
And Olivia I am!
Bone Appetit!
Hope you enjoyed my little story for Dr Seuss Day 2020. I really do like green eggs and ham too!
We are joining Comedy Plus for the Awww Mondays, Dr Seuss Day Blog Hop.
Olivia, you look mighty good in your hat. Plus those green eggs and ham sure look tasty. Have a great day.
The green eggs and ham were fabulous.
you look adorable in that hat and now I am wondering if green eggs taste different than yellow… I love your story Olivia, great job
I think they taste the same.
Love it, very clever!!
Thank you.
That was terrific Olivia, ya done good girl, let’s eat!
Eating was the best part!
We looove your poem Olivia! And we should ask our Mom to make our eggs green today!
They look kind of weird, but they were totally yummy!
Your photos are beyond darling! Gotta admit the eggs don’t look very appetizing BOL…but….we LOVE Dr.Seuss and we LOVE that book in particular too!
My mom said the eggs didn’t look real appetizing, but I enjoyed them.
That was fabulous, Olivia, and your green eggs and ham sure look yummy to me!
I sure enjoyed them.
Awww, so adorable. I’d eat green eggs and ham.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. My best to your wonderful mom. ♥
As always, thanks to you for hosting this super fun day!
You did a great job for your first time, Olivia!! I loved your take on it.
I am a huge fan of food, so it fits me well.
We asked for Ham and hope Dad gets some today you lucky dog. Love your outfit too
Thank you. We get eggs a lot, but usually not green.
Olivia I am…extremely impressed with your Dr. Seuss tribute…Yes I am
Well done…Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. I had fun with it.
Mmmmmmmmn…I think we may have to make Mama make us some Green Eggs and Ham!!!
Great job Olivia!!
xoxo,
Rosy, Jakey & Arty
You should have green eggs, they taste great!
You are a poet Olivia!! I enjoyed reading it.
Thank you. I had fun putting it together.
LOVE DR SEUSS— Cut our teeth on his books ( Mom was not amused). Chablis’ favorite is the 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins – because he has done so many therapy gigs and costume contests over the years. Mine?? I THINK, is Horton Hears a Who! ( ’cause I’m always listening for things when I get called in, so I don’t hear human voices (like my mom’s and dad’s). Your friend, LB
My sisters like the nose book and the places you will go book. I like green eggs and ham.
I think I’d have to be color blind to eat green eggs! Olivia is a great dog and a good sport!
They taste just like yellow eggs, but my mom said she prefers to eat yellow herself.
For a little kid you sure are smart!
I’m very much a puppy, but I’ve learned to do lots of big dog things at an early age according to my mom.
Great job, Olivia! We like your choice, of course, since we are big on eggs around here! 🙂 Also, you are a wise girl not to eat Spam! 🙂
That is true. You do have a lot of eggs with your chickens and lots of pretty colors too.
Oh my goodness, your Mom made you green eggs and ham – what a good Mom you have! You look just darling in your Dr. Seuss hat, he would just love this post!
Thank you. I loved my green eggs and ham.
Cute poem! Happy Dr. Seuss Day!
Thank you, kitties.
Well done!
Thank you. I did my best.
What a great poem! Olivia, you rocked it…and you knocked out the spam too, who needs that?? BOL!
Mom says there are two kinds of spam and we don’t want either one of them!
Oh Olivia, you look so lovely in these pics! And I’m so curious about the taste of Green Eggs!

The green eggs were fabulous, just like the usual yellow ones. We used natural food dye to make them green.
