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!"
