The scene is Elsinore Castle where the young Danish king is debating a dilemma as taught to him by his tutor: Dr Seuss.
"To live or to die
Is the question I cry
To suffer green eggs and ham
Or to connive and plan
or simply fight back
against that culinary crap
Bringing the matter to attention
But putting my life in contention
To die?
To eat?
To forsake the mundane pains
and reach heavenly gains
Tis a consumation to be wished
Unlike that dreaded dish
Of green eggs and ham,
As proposed by Sam I Am.
To die?
To eat?
For who'd endure this crime?
This breakfast-like slime?
If it weren't for fear
Of losing our what's dear
In replacement for a journey
That is itself non returning
A move to an unknown place
Empty of a friend's face.
Yet the more I think upon death
The more I turn to second-guess
And that broken breakfast
Looks more steadfast
And so my dear Sam I Am
I will eat Green Eggs and Ham
because my thoughts scare me
and turn me excessively wary
Of that that path I could take.
Mine death I could make.
My sins be remembered
To you I've surrended.
My dear Sam I Am
I will eat green eggs and ham."
