No More B.S.

Three green little happy sprouts Brussels sprout, Brussels sprout!
Throw the nasty rascal out.
Give us pizza, give us meat.
Give us anything that's sweet.

In the evening how I hate
To see you lying on my plate.
You are green and round and wide,
Which makes you very hard to hide.

And so, with milk, I wash you down.
Even then I gag and frown.
Though you're good for me, no doubt.
A pox upon thee, Brussels sprout.
