Eating Healthy

 

Eat healthy

they say

over and over

don't bring home the bacon

bring home the fruit and vegetables

so I tried to follow

I attempted wellness

the only problem was

that every time I tried to buy lettuce

they recalled it

Salmonella

was everywhere

poison sprays too

produce from Mexico

produced more poison fruit

like Adam

I was in a quandary

so rather than beat a dead horse

I went back to eating dead animals.

Droll - with more than a dollop of truth!
A little of what you fancy
Does you good,
But what I really fancy
Is a piled high plate of pud!
