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.

Hurrah! I am now earwormed with 'Lo He Comes' instead of all of the other awful things mentioned in the comments. Thank you!

I am glad it is good for someone. The experience put me off it for life.

I can understand that it would. Happily, none of my schools went in for anything particularly traumatic with proper hymns, except perhaps making the 6th-form altos join in the descant to the carols, although that wasn't so much traumatic as very uncomfortable and squeaky (top A after an afternoon's practice and an evening's singing in the freezing cold is definitely not within my range).
