Help. I had a copy of this hilarious filk poem entitled Green Eggs and Hamlet..and lost it.

First couple of lines go something like this: "Would I, could I end this strife? Would I, should I take my life?" It goes rapidly and hysterically downhill from there.

Green Eggs and Hamlet

by Tim Hnetka

I ask to be, or not to be.
That is the thing, I ask of me.
This sullied life, it makes me shudder.
My unc' is boffing my dear mother.
Would I, could I take my life?
Could I, should I, end this strife?
Should I jump out of a plane?
Or lie down in front of a train?
Should I from a cliff just leap?
Could I put myself to sleep?
Shoot myself, or take some poison?
Maybe try self immolation?
To shudder off this mortal coil,
I could stab myself with a foil,
Or slash my wrists while in the bath?
Would it help to end my wrath?
To sleep, to dream, aye, there's the rub.
I'd drop a toaster in my tub.
Would they be happy, with me dead?
Could I murder them instead?
These thoughts take much consideration,
I'm the prince of procrastination.

Is anyone familiar with a different poem titled "Green Eggs and Hamlet"? I only remember bits and pieces: "erroneous felonious - thou hast killed Polonius," and "these eggs of green of which I ate do cause me to hallucinate"
