Not What I Eat

If it were true I am what I eat I 'd have apple pie instead of feet I'd have hot dogs instead of toes Cauliflower ears and a cucumber nose I'd have carrots instead of legs And I'd have no eyes just two boiled eggs I'd have a big watermelon in place of my head And in place of arms just two loaves of bread I'd surely have oatmeal where my brain should be If I thougt this applied to me For I don't belive that saying is true I am not what I eat and neither are you
