This is my Ode to Broccoli.
I will not eat it in a stew
I will not eat it, not with you
I will not eat it in a pinch
I will not eat it with the grinch
I will not eat it on the run
I will not eat it just for fun
I will not eat it just for lunch
I will not eat just one little bunch
I will not eat this yucky food.
I will not eat it, I might be sued.
I will not eat it on a bus.
If I eat it, I might just cuss
I will not eat it on the lam
I will not eat it, not with ham.
I will not eat it because it’s green
I will not eat it, I might be seen
I will not eat it close to a forge
I will not eat it and neither will George.
George refers to the 41st President of the US, George H. W. Bush, who didn’t like broccoli.
