Ode to Broccoli – Dr. Seuss style

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

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.
