Two Quotations on Broccoli

BROCCOLI

I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little boy 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
     on menus aboard Air Force One
     (Quoted in The New York Times on March 25, 1990)

Rejoice with broccoli for it is a good bush-of-a-face and goes nicely in the mouth.
     ANNE SEXTON
     in her book of poems The Death Notebooks (1974)
