Toddler's Lament

I didn’t want to eat it, the broccoli
But now I must concede it, the broccoli

Our doting mothers feed it, the broccoli
Although they may reheat it, the broccoli

It’s browning and it’s fetid, the broccoli
A meal to be defeated, the broccoli

In life you might be cheated, the broccoli
Oh Phil, you just can’t beat it, the broccoli
