The Seuss Supermarket

Yes, we have green eggs and ham. Did you have to ask?

  [vote for,
against]

A supermarket with no straight lines, not even queues,
With aisles stacked high and shaped in curlicues.

With eggs laid by crazy Mayzie birds,
And battles over butter that's better by thirds.

Some Chewy goo and some licking lakes,
Some noodles, for the poodles' sakes

Some fish coloured red, and some coloured blue,
When you pop in you must purchase one or two.

Don't shop here 'less you've rhyming feet,
The Seuss Supermarket, on Mulberry Street.

       Now I've posted this, I can't get the proposed ad jingle, sung by Phil Collins, out of my head.

       I can say only that that serves you right.
MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 19 2009
  

       Gee, thanks. You're all heart, aren't you, mate?   

       Have another G&T, [MB], your teeth are showing. ;-)

       //ad jingle//   

       Probably more suitable for a hair salon - "Seuss Seuss Studio"
bigsleep, Sep 19 2009
  

       Ha ha, gotcha.

       Would there be ting tinglers tied to the shopping baskets, used while shopping for roast beast? (And could they be adapted to play zoo-zinger-car-zay?)

       When I shop here, for bargains they have, I know,
My son comes along, so I look high and he looks low.

       Baked. See California. (neutral)
21 Quest, Sep 20 2009
  

       Huh? You've been to a different California to the one I know, it seems?   

       Perhaps you could find a link to back up your annotation? While you're at it, how about an anger mangement course, too?
UnaBubba, Sep 20 2009
  

       I was trying to make a joke in reference to the loopy way they run the place, sorry if I offended you. Apparently that one fell flat. No anger here!

       //how about an anger mangement course, too?//   

       Can we make a block booking?   

       "Hi. My name is {mumbles inaudibly}. When I've had a bad day, I use an MFD where a fishbone would have been adequate" [sits down]   

       "My name is {never-you-mind}. I use the half bakery to prove that my fragment of the planet is better than everyone else's" [crouches]   

       "Hi. Our name is {ahem}. We use the half bakery to vent our feelings about our ex-partner"   

       [etc.]   

       [moderator]; "Well done everyone; welcome to the Six Steps program for grumpy old half-bakers. It's a bit like AA's 'fake it til you make it', except of course that we don't actually make anything, we just talk about the things we would have made..."

       Sign me up, [pertinax]. There are days when it would be really handy.
UnaBubba, Sep 20 2009
  

       I've been to Anger Management before... only pissed me off more. I would be interested to see what direction it would take under HB management...
21 Quest, Sep 20 2009
  

       //what direction it would take under HB management//   

       "count backwards from pi"

       Drop and give me 24.5
21 Quest, Sep 20 2009
  

       it's good to be back. Get that bonefinger limbered up!

       [UB], you gotta help me please!,
Are there any fruits from three cheese trees?
gnomethang, Sep 22 2009
  

       Cheese tree's fruits? Oh, c'mon, please!
They all blew away in a freezy breeze.
UnaBubba, Sep 24 2009
  

       The breeze got stirred, and then it blew,
When through three cheese trees three fleas flew.
gnomethang, Sep 24 2009
  

       UB, I feel a need to apologize. It seems that I did vote, by mistake, and inadvertently fishboned your idea when I claimed neutrality. This touchscreen phone is kinda sensitive, and occasionally I click on something while scrolling. The negative vote has been neutralized.
