A/N: My daughter has been insisting on Green Eggs and Ham as her bedtime story for the past two weeks. Therefore, I give you this exercise in ridiculousness.
Doctor Seuss
John was following Sherlock around the flat, and Sherlock was doing his best to ignore him.
"Would you eat them… on a train? Would you eat them in the rain?"
" Stop." Sherlock's hand tightened, accidentally snapped a pipette.
"Would you try them here or there?" John continued.
"John, I swear…" Sherlock tried his best grimace and it was effortlessly ignored.
"Would you try them anywhere?"
"Stop. Rhyming. At me."
"I'll stop when you eat something. Also... would you eat them on a boat?"
"Arrrggh!" Sherlock stalked to their room, slammed the door and locked it.
John leaned against it, raised his voice. "Would you eat them with a goat?"
"No!"
"Try them, try them! You will see!"
"Leave me alone..."
"Will you try green eggs and ham!"
Resigned shuffling from the other side of the door. John watched the handle expectantly, and after a moment, Sherlock emerged, glaring daggers.
"You really won't stop, will you?"
"Unlikely." John grinned at him. "Not when it produces such an excellent reaction."
After another glare, Sherlock slumped down at the table. With a flourish, John produced a plate with a slice of ham and two fried eggs. Sherlock stared. The eggs were tinted green.
"You actually made green eggs and ham? Are you really that bored?"
John grinned at him again. "Eat your breakfast."
