Green Eggs and Hamlet
by Tim Hnetka
---------------------

 I ask to be, or not to be.
 That is the thing, I ask of me.
 This sullied life, it makes me shudder.
 My unc' is boffing my dear mother.
 Would I, could I take my life?
 Could I, should I, end this strife?
 Should I jump out of a plane?
 Or lie down in front of 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 foil,
 Or slash my wrists while in the bath?
 Would it help to end my wrath?
 To sleep, to dream, aye, there's the rub.
 I'd drop a toaster in my tub.
 Would they be happy, with me dead?
 Could I murder them instead?
 These thoughts take much consideration,
 I'm the prince of procrastination.
