Well, Frank, finally drew me into posting the first part of "Down at the Barnyard Dance" which as I recall goes:

It was late last night in the pale moonlight
That the vegetables had their spree;
They put out a sign, said "Dancing's at 9
And All the Admissions are FREE";
There was peas and greens, cabbage and beans,
It was the biggest thing you ever did see,
And when Ol' Cucumber, struck up that number
You should have heard them vegetables scream!

I used to sing it for our periodic food co-op benefits in Michigan, followed by "Dundebeck's Machine" or "Sweeney Todd the Barber" depending on my fancy.

No one, I think, has mentioned the "okra", that lovely slimey green thing that my mother used to like to steam up and pile onto my innocent plate, next to the leaks and brussel sprouts.

I was intrigued to learn from this joke thread that Hitler was not necessarily a vegetarian. I'll have to forward that info to Joel Mabus who composed a song entitled "Hitler was a Vegetarian Too."

What an amazingly educational thread!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, who's getting hungry!
