Kelly Green and Tan

March 2nd is a very important day! It is my birthday as well as Dr. Seuss'.  In the spirit of Dr. Seuss, I was reminded of a few of my favorite books, "Oh the Thinks You Can Think," "There's a Wocket in My Pocket," and of course, "Green Eggs and Ham."  "Green Eggs and Ham" is a book about possibly one of the most annoying sales persons ever written, Sam I am.  He gives every option and idea possible, with disregards to any health code regulations, as he harasses  his victim into eating his potentially moldy eggs and ham.  The lessons learned?  Maybe our mothers were right to never talk to strangers;  Nancy Regan's campaign "Just say NO!' may not always be affective; and keep an open mind and you may be surprised!  

Sam I am is at it again!  Who knew he was an interior designer as well as a culinary genius?!  He is trying to convince his friend about the color combination kelly green and tan.  

 

 

I do not like kelly green and tan,

I do not like it Sam I am.
 

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 kelly green and tan,
I do not like it Sam I am.
 

How about on a chair?

 There's no way you can compare.

 

 



I do not like it on a chair,
 I do not like it here or there,

I do not like it anywhere!
 I do not like kelly green and tan,
I do not like it Sam I am.
 

What about on the drapes?

I would rather eat rotten grapes!

 

 

I do not like it on the drapes,
 I do not like it on a chair,
 I do not like it here or there,
 I do not like it anywhere!
I do not like kelly green and tan,
I do not like it Sam I am.
 

A throw! A throw!
There's no way you could say no!

 

 

NO! NO! NO! 
I do not like it in a throw,
I do not like it on the drapes,
I do not like it on a chair,
I do not like it here or there,
I do not like it anywhere!
I do not like kelly green and tan,
I do not like it Sam I am!
 

  I know!
How about with the lamps?

 

 

I would rather deal with cramps,
 than ever look at those ugly lamps!
I do not like it with the lamps,
  I do not like it in a throw,
 I do not like it on the drapes,
 I do not like it on a chair,
 I do not like it here or there,
I do not like it anywhere!
I do not like kelly green and tan,
I do not like it Sam I am.
 

You do not like it, so you say.
Try it!  Try it, and you may.
 

Sam, if you will let me be,
I will try it, you will see.

I do not like kelly green and tan,
 I do not like it Sam I am.
 

Say!  I do like kelly green and tan!
I do like it Sam I am!

I do like it with the lamps,
 I do like it on a throw,
 I do like it on the drapes,
 I do like it on a chair,
 I do like it here and there,
 I do like it anywhere!
 

 I do so like kelly green and tan.

Thank you! Thank you, Sam I am.
