Ain't nothin left to eat!

"Don't drink that coffee," my friend shouted at me,

"That caffeine will **** you!"

he said impatiently!

 

Drinking water is bad for your health,

the feds put fluorine in it

to **** you by stealth."

 

Paternally he whispered,

 

"Whatever you do, don't drink cows' milk.

the sucklings its made for

aren't close to our ilk.

 

The consumption of pigs and animals that ****

most certainly will keep you

from obtaining sweet bliss.

 

And stay away from creatures that swim in the sea,

their svelte tasty bodies are filled

with deadly mercury."

 

And then he looked aghast at my plate,

 

"Tell me you're not eating that excrement," he sighed,

"Do you really want to die...

from eating french fries?

 

Don't you know that fried things are the scourge of the planet,

cooked in hydrogenated fats by

some woman named Janet?

 

Avoid eggs, if you can, and by no means eat the yolks,

your cholesterol will rise,

that's no funny joke."

 

Then, with a scowl in his voice he said,

 

"Avoid plants grown in this country,

sprayed with pesticides and poisons

by corporate monkeys.

 

And stay away from foods grown in the East,

they're probably fertilized by

humans, dragons and beasts.

 

Potatoes, tomatoes have starch and acid,

that eats up your guts and

make you grow flaccid.

 

Lemons and limes will ruin your pretty white teeth,

making you go snaggle

right in your sleep."

 

With a superior air he ended his harangue,

 

"Beer, wine, and all forms of liquor,

Can you think of anything that

will **** you quicker?

 

Don't eat rich chocolate--it'll make you a ****

humping everything in sight

like a mad deer in rut.

 

Cakes, breads and cookies too,

contain sugars and flours that's

sooooo baaaaad for you.

 

~~~

 

I'm hungry and starving and don't know what to do,

I want to eat something

but afraid to give it a chew.

 

Though all of this leaves me feeling quite uneasy and queasy,

I'm closing the door and

doing as I pleasey!
