bucket

On Dr. Seuss's birthday my class ate green eggs and ham. While we were eating we were rhyming.

A student asked me, "Would you, could you with a goat?"
I said, "I would, I could in a boat."
A little boy said, "Would you, could you in a bucket?"
I said, "I'm not sure I know a word that rhymes with bucket."
He thought about it and said, "Fuck it! Fuck it rhymes with bucket."
I bit my lip.
A little hand touched my sleeve. I looked down and another little boy offered, "Do you want me to tell him that it's a bad word?"
