A U.S. District Court Judge in New Hampshire shows his sense of humor, responding to an inmate's lawsuit by writing in verse, a la Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.

The backdrop: New Hampshire state inmate Charles Jay Wolff doesn't like eggs. When the state prison kept providing them to him, he filed a lawsuit. Along with the lawsuit, he mailed a hard-boiled egg to the Judge.

The Judge's response:

"I do not like eggs in the file," Muirhead wrote. "I do not like them in any style. I will not take them fried or boiled. I will not take them poached or broiled. I will not take them soft or scrambled / Despite an argument well-rambled."

The verse grew heated, exclamation marks were injected, and the egg was ordered destroyed.

"No fan I am / Of the egg at hand. Destroy that egg! Today! Today! Today I say! Without delay!"

Here's the full text (verse) of the Judge's reply.
