Broccoli

Some hate broccoli, some hate bacon.

I hate having my picture taken.

How can your family claim to love you

And then demand a picture of you?

~ Ogden Nash

Me: You can't believe a thing that broccoli tells you.

You: Funny. Ha. Ha. It's because it's called broccoli-LIE, right?

Me: No. It's because broccoli cannot talk.

(pause)

Me: Sheesh.
