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.

COurgettes? (does mental translation) Oh.Those. I like them in bread. Otherwise they don't sit well with me.

At least traditional C. of E hymns have musical sense to recommend them. I have seriously offended people by explaining that my great bar against converting to evangelical Christianity is the godawfulness that is the genre called Christian Contemporary music. It's supposed to be bad so you focus on the lyrics.

(Well, that and the complete understanding that my ass is wholly and entirely owned by a rather older Goddess, who has no interest in letting me off leash.)

But the lyrics are bad, too!

Well, yes. But often good music has bad lyrics, and they can be overlooked.

True. Which explains the abiding popularity of some fairly dire Victorian stuff.

And why non-comic operas should not be translated into English.

Courgettes are nice fried. I believe they also make a good chocolate cake, but I prefer my cake without vegetables.

ALl Things Bright and Beautiful does not have musical sense to recommend it. I sang both tunes in my school career, and they're both awful!
