i love the brassica

To the tune of the Pixies' "U-Mass"

In Willow Glen of San José
is a garden full, full o' vegetables
We've collard greens, and mustard greens
and broccoli, and cauliflower
and brussel sprouts, and kale, too
and cabbage there, both red & green,
tur-nips — and kohl rabi
let's not forget the rutabay,
ta-baga

I love the brassica!
I love the brassica!
I love the brassica!
I love the brassica! (x2)

We slice `em up, and make a stir-fry, yeah
all those healthy greens

I love the brassica!
I love the brassica!
I love the brassica!
I love the brassica!
I love the brassica!

'Brassica' would have been an even better name for Jessica's character in the Dune parody, Doon, than 'Jazzica', which is what they used. Oh well.

I learned something new. I knew they were all in the same family - Cruciferae - but did not know they were all the same genus - brassica. And it's such a great word. Happy you to have fresh brassica in your tummy.
