Dr. Seuss Revisited

 

  • Why do away with the Dr. Seuss books that offend?  Why not change the offensive illustrations?  I've always loved the message of "Green Eggs and Ham"--Try something new before rejecting it.  But it needs to reflect our current awareness of animal welfare and sustainability, so I doctored Seuss:

SAMI

 I don't want any vegan dish./I do not like them I -Am-Trish.


TRISH

 

You do not like them, so you say./Try one!  Try some!  And you may.  Try one and you may, I say.

SAMI

Oh, Trish!  If you will let me be/I will try one.  You will see.

 

 

SAMI

Say, I like this vegan food!/I do! It really suits my mood!

 

TRISH

 

Trying something new can be

A pleasurable thing to see

AND sustainability

is kind to animals and me.
