*** that sounds so good
Let’s go out now and buy
A steak a pizza a hamburger
Appetites reach for the sky
We think we’re hungry
We like to taste
The food is wonderful
Can’t let it waste
And so we hunger
And so we hide
We get much bigger
We’re growing wide
And still we want
Just more and more
We fill our pantries
And run to the store
We never fill
That empty void
We keep on eating
And get annoyed
Our doctors tell us
It must stop
We tell him not
To be a cop
We hang on to
Our sugary treats
Nothing can get past
What we eat
And suddenly one day
We start to feel
A little anxious
And start to reel
And realize that
The food we eat
Is making us sick
It’s not a treat
But poison yummies
Which we detect
Our bodies soon
Feel the effect
And suddenly
We understand
These very wise words
Which we command
We eat to live
Not live to eat
Once we get that
Our health complete
