Green Eggs and Hamlet
Green Eggs and Hamlet is a tragicomic mix of Shakespeare and
Dr. Seuss. Though the pairing may be unusual, in a play designed to
introduce the bard to children, it’s a dramatic, tongue-tying roller
coaster filled with laughs and unexpected twists. Green Eggs and Hamlet
presents William Shakespeare’s Hamlet as Dr. Seuss might have written it.
Green Eggs and Hamlet
I ask to be or not to be.
That is the question I ask of me.
This sullied life, it makes me shudder.
My uncle's boffing dear sweet mother.
Would I, could I take me life?
Could I, should I end this strife?
Should I jump out of a plane?
Or throw myself before a train?
Should I from a cliff just leap?
Could I put myself to sleep?
Shoot myself or take some poison?
Maybe try self immolation?
To shudder off this mortal coil,
I could stab myself with a fencing foil.
Slash my wrists while in the bath?
Would it end my angst and wrath?
To sleep, to drea, now there's the rub.
I could drop a toaster in my tub.
Would all be glad if I were dead?
Could I perhaps kill them instead?
This line of thought takes consideration-
For I'm the king of procrastination.
