Sam I am...not

I've never gone by Sam, mostly because it reminds me of that God-forsaken Dr. Seuss book. What an unnecessary waste of time.

I do not like them
in a house.
I do not like them
with a mouse.
I do not like them
here or there.
I do not like them
anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

If I were to be objective about it, the actual story is a good one, about trying new things, about not being judgmental, about changing your mind. But try growing up with a name that could justifiably be shortened to "Sam," and see how it feels to have that book quoted to you on a daily basis. I do not like it, Sam-I-am.
