Some Green Eggs

There was an old (ish) woman (Katy),
Who lived in a Shoe (condo).
She had so much Ham, she didn't know what to do.
So she had a Ham Party,
and invited her friends (and me).
And all came prepared
for Ham Debauchery.

[it rhymes you know]

And well, it occurred to me to bring Green Eggs to the Ham party. You get it, I'm sure. But Eggs? To a party?

Well, I said to Heidi Beth:

Would I? Could I? Make Green Deviled Eggs?
Should I? Er, Can't I? And,
How does one? If one can, Make Green Deviled Eggs?
And is one 'L' or two 'L's most proper in spelling?
Deviled or Devilled? Both are correct?
Websters ambivals (not a word) - sits on the fence.
One 'L' is efficient (that's eficient to you, Webster),
And two makes 'El' Pair-o.
Crap my poem is completely derailed-o (derailled-o).

Oh! They were atrocious! Radioactive Cancer Causing Eggs! Devilled, indeed! But they were a hit at the party! I feel my bid for popularity and acceptance amongst Katy's most "inner circle" was well received. I have of course set the bar high now. Future social engagements will require further flits of bril(l)iance and much much much more food coloring. Inevitable is my failure, as is my blindness from retinal food-coloring poisoning. But today is a good day. A Beguil(l)ing Green Devil(l)ed day.
