‘Green Eggs and Ham’ ruling by rhyming judge

A U.S. District Court Judge received a hard-boiled egg in the mail from an inmate who was protesting his prison diet.

Judge James Muirhead reached for Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" for inspiration after getting the egg from inmate Charles Jay Wolff.

The judge wrote:

I do not like eggs in the file
I do not like them in any style.
I will not take them fried or boiled.
I will not take them poached or broiled.
I will not take them soft or scrambled
Despite an argument well-rambled.

The judge then ordered the egg destroyed saying:

No fan I am
Of the egg at hand.
Destroy that egg!
Today! Today! Today I say!
Without delay!"

Dr. Seuss would have been proud.
