Where have all the vegetables gone?

[nineveh_uk]

My middle school had long assembly three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I quite enjoyed assembly, which wasn't that long even in its long format, and one got to sing. I did not, however, like all the hymns. Top of my "most hated" list was Where Have All the Flowers Gone. To this day I get irritated when hearing pre-pubescent female humans blamed for the first World War.

Nonetheless, when I opened the fridge tonight and discovered that the only green veg I possessed was a couple of leeks, I had to accept that the answer was that I had eaten them. I'm not sure how this happened, as there was a fair amount there on Saturday and I am not the sort of person who considers raw broccoli a delicious snack. But apparently it has. I don't mind leeks. Leeks are OK, particularly baked, but even raw. But I was looking for the courgette that was supposed to be in there.

I thought we were ill used for having to sing Oh Canada and God Save the Queen in assembly. I can't imagine having to sing Pete Seeger songs; even as a pre-teen I had an all-abiding hatred of folk music.

The real issue is the mysterious disappearance of the courgette, IMO. Vegi-snatchers?

No, Oh Canada and GStQ are much, much worse.

I admit to surprise about the lack of concern for the courgette. I did find myself thinking "have I got a mysterious courgette thief" for a moment.
