I do not like broccoli

I do not like broccoli.
And I haven't liked it
since I was a little kid
and my mother made me eat it.
And I'm President of the United States
and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.

~ George Bush

When I sound the fairy call

When I sound the fairy call,
Gather here in silent meeting,
Chin to knee on the orchard wall,
Cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, Take a cherry
Mine are sounder, Mine are rounder
Mine are sweeter, For the eater
When the dews fall. And you'll be fairies all.

~Robert Graves, "Cherry-Time," Fairies and Fusiliers, 1918

Without question

Inside me

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.
