Dear Dave and List; I read this and I really want to jump in to rhyme with "green eggs and ham"...Nantan I am....
We do not put them near water dish, they do not like it near the fish, Nantans like it where it's dry, Oh rusty Nantan, don't make me cry! Take a hammer to my prize; Oh just my shoe to reduce it's size! A rusty wafer waiting to go, My rusty Nantan Oreo! A wise one will save the yellow rust, and sell it on ebay as rare star dust. The wire brush and gloves of rubber do not save this rusty love. I do not eat green eggs and ham, but sadly enough Nantan I am. I do not cherish this twisted verse, but sooner love my Nantan first. We've discussed this topic much before... Oh rusty nantan, never more... And in the evening, all's quiet at dust, I sit alone and hear her rust! **Here in Wyoming my nantan (s) don't seem to rust hardly at all. Best, the other other Dave (F.) Any added verses welcomed (well pleasantly tolerated).
