OK, I know this is a hotbed of NPR listeners - who heard, and transcribed, the great parody of Green Eggs and Ham I heard there over the weekend? I have looked on the NPR website to no avail, and Google will bring up people talking about it but not let me into the chats... All I heard was something like:

I do not have anthrax and SAMS. I do not have them, Uncle Sam.
Did you hide them in your mosques? Did you hide them under rocks?
I did not hide them under rocks. I did not hide them in a mosque. I did not hide them here or there - I did not hide them anywhere! I do not have anthrax and SAMS! I do not have them! said Saddam.

...And so on. VERY good. Help? And can anyone put it to music, or has GE&H already been tuned? (I figure if they can write a tune for AA Milne poems they ought to be able to write one for Dr. Seuss.)

Mrrzy-

Here's what I could decode and extrapolate of the lyrics:

ANTHRAX OR SAM
(By Dr. Jay Klusky © as recited on NPR)

"You do have Anthrax or SAM!"

"I do not have them," said Saddam.
"I do not have Anthrax or SAM;
I would not have them here or there;
I would not have them anywhere;
I do not have Anthrax or SAM,
I do not have them," said Saddam.

"Have you hid them in your halls?
Have you hid them in some mall?"

"I do not have them in my halls;
I do not have them in some mall;
I do not have them here or there;
I do not have them anywhere."

"Have you kept them in your mosque?
Have you kept them 'neath some rock?

"Not in some mosque, not 'neath some rock,
Not in my halls, not in some mall,
I would not keep them here or there;
I would not keep them anywhere;
I do not have Anthrax or SAM,
I do not have them," said Saddam.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
