BACON BUTTY
The advice comes from everywhere
The 'Spin Doctors' getting bolder
With lots of little anecdotes
To stop us getting older
So read it, take it all on board
You don't want any grief
Two minutes a day is all it takes
For you to floss your teeth
Two minutes hopping on each leg
"It's so good for the hip"
Where the hell does that come from?
It makes me want to flip
We'll try almost anything
To delay the funeral wreath
So I'll hop two minutes on one leg
Whilst I'm flossing my teeth
Special 'K', Granola bars
Bowls of muesli are fine
And don't forget food for your heart
Is a nice glass of red wine
Fruit and Fibre, Porage Oats
Breakfast for mountain climbers
No time for my Sudoku now
To starve off the Alzheimer's
Don't forget that when you chew
To do it twenty times
It'll make you regular at the loo
And make you go more times
Those fruity yoghurts, not for me
It's just like slurping putty
Just milk, no sugar in my tea
And I'll have a bacon butty

An apt comment on the "know what's good for you"
preachers who infest our lives and encourage the
paranoia in vulnerable minds.
"If you choose the food that you enjoy
The know-alls will very soon employ
Advice they say is what you need
To get the best health from your feed.
But I like the wisdom in the declaration:
Moderation in everything - including moderation!"
