It Is Not All Bad

When the doctor said my insides were shot I was told what I could eat, what I could not. Now everything has changed with my new diet For if I am to keep my insides quiet… They’ll be no more fruits or vegetables with skins, Or nuts or seeds, so now a new life begins. No chocolate, fried foods and low sodium, It sounds like a diet that’s really hum-drum. But I still get plenty of good food to eat, Smooth peanut butter is my favorite treat, With strong discipline I have fared very well. So grateful am I, but one thing I will tell… When Christmas comes ‘round, I look under the tree And I’m delighted that fruitcake is not for me!
