I Do Not Like That...

You have to wonder ‘bout that Sam
Who offered up green eggs and ham.
I get his story’s lesson: “Try it;
Maybe you’ll expand your diet.”
Even so, he goes too far
With such persistence; how bizarre.
He’ll follow any place you go
And won’t accept the answer “no.”
He doesn’t know or doesn’t care
That some are vegans; he’ll be there.
What’s more, he won’t explain the green.
Can we be sure the meat is clean?
It prob’ly isn’t good for you.
You might just be allergic, too.
In pushing what could make us ill,
Is Sam a wretched corp’rate shill?

Many early reader books can be seen as creepy if you take them literally.

Here's the amusing story of how the book got written. The challenge contributed to the book's meter: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/05/dr-seuss-wrote-green-eggs-and-ham-on-a-bet-that-he-couldnt-write-a-book-with-50-or-fewer-words/
