Broccoli

My doc says broccoli is good for me

   I'm here to say it ain't my cup o' tea

      I prefer meat and taters

          Juicy beefsteak termaters

            Onions are fine , but spare the broccoli

Quoth Theraven Date: 1/22/2025 9:06:00 PM Robert, Like this line "Prefer meat and taters", truth in words here. Still, broccoli's a nicer shade of green than kale.
