Goats on a Boat

I am Sam
I am Sam
Sam I am
Do you like green eggs and ham?
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.







Could you, would you, with a goat?
I would not, could not, with a goat!
Would you, could you, on a boat?
I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.

I was reminded of one of Dr. Seuss's finest works while observing the forceful herding of goats onto a boat next to the Africa Mercy Ship on the dock.

These little goats went to market. The Dankopta Market that is, the biggest outdoor market in West Africa. I asked the goat seller what the goats are sold for and he replied, "for food, for sacrifices and to make more goats."
