Broccoli for Breakfast

by Kenn Nesbitt
.

Broccoli for breakfast.
Broccoli for lunch.
Broccoli that's tender.
Broccoli with crunch.

Broccoli for dinner.
Broccoli for snacks.
Broccoli in boxes
and baskets and sacks.

Broccoli for weeks and
for months and for years.
It's up to my eyeballs.
It's up to my ears!

I used to like broccoli
but now, I'm afraid,
its beauty, at best,
is beginning to fade.

It's lacking in luster.
It's lost all its charm.
But that's how it goes
on a broccoli farm.
