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.

Do you know the Generic Graham Kendrick Song? The one where each of the verses describes a different characteristic of Graham Kendrick Songs Everywhere?

This one? Or is there another?

"Anyone can write a Graham Kendrick song
Anyone can write a Graham Kendrick song
You just make the words up as you go along
Anyone can write a Graham Kendrick song"

To the tune of 'Jesus put this song into our hearts' (and I really wish he hadn't)? (For those who don't know it, that's one of those ones that gets gradually faster until there's half a verse difference between the music group and the congregation, and glares are breaking out all round)

Yes, although I suspect the verses change depending on the singer's experience. I've forgotten almost all of the third lines, but I knew:

This is just another Graham Kendrick song
Anyone can write a Graham Kendrick song
If you sing it slowly you sound ho-olier (sung as slowly as you like)
Sometimes half the people sing a bar behind (repeat 'bar behind' in a squeaky voice)

And another one about singing it faster, I think. There may have been more.

Repeat ad nauseam or until the CU president spontaneously combusts.

Oh, and one about running out of words and singing the rest of the verse to 'la'.
