The Strega Nona broccoli remix
Mom had a notebook on her lap, so she wrote Ben's song down. (Sung to the tune of "A Bear Went over the Mountain, more or less.)
"Strega Nona went over the mountain, then went into the village to get some paper broccoli.
The broccoli spilled out and covered Strega Nona's town, and Big Anthony ate all the broccoli, big fat broccoli.
He got some broccoli and cooked it and didn't spill any more.
Then Strega Nona went over the mountain and they cooked pasta together again.
And that's the end. That's my Strega Nona song."
