All American Diet

Hot Dogs                                                      
and Hamburgers                                              
Good All American fare                                      
Loved by the young                                           
And feared by the old                                        
Calories and Cholesterol,                                    
ready to pounce on us all                                   
               Pass the Ketchup.....

Andrea Dietrich September 16, 2010 at 7:34 PM Right ON, my kind of food and POEM. And yeah, I hear ya on the ER visit. It's a killer to get sick in the US.

Carolyn Devonshire September 13, 2010 at 10:56 AM I think Larry's mother-in-law is used to his sense of humor by now. She must have a sense of humor too! Thanks for your blog comment. That is one funny limerick! Check out Bob Hinshaw's Uncle Paul if you get a chance. He took a witty approach too! Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire September 13, 2010 at 9:39 AM That sounds like my diet, LNC. Guess there are a lot of All Americans who love hot dogs and burgers! Love, Carolyn (Soup mail returned and I'm working on a zoo story too)
