A Minor Treatise on Food

  
     Indians eat with their fingers
        That’s why the smell of curry lingers

     A gentleman who still eats pie
         ought to be wearing bib and bow-tie

     Looking at a Hostess Twinkie
         my thoughts turn rather kinky

     They say you are what you eat, Jake
         I see you been eatin’ fruitcake

     Mom’s cure for eating too much chocolate 
         Keep the pantry door shut

      Side effect of using too much oil
         Paper plates get soiled 

       Garbage in, Garbage out, Mr. Crustacean
          Hope you don’t have constipation…
