All the Nice Things In Life

All the nice things in life!
By Stanley Russell Harris

& A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet

All the nice things in life!
 Are said to be the cause of strife.
Some even can shorten your life.
Sugar is one oh so sweet.
That’s something to cut down to eat.
Salt also is said to be bad.
A lot on fish and chips I’ve had.
Exhaust fumes from motorcars. 
Air fresheners in the house and car.
All those chemicals we inhale.
No wonder we are sick and pale.
Too much sun is bad it’s true.
So cover our skin in chemicals, we do.
So much preservative we digest.
What else is bad I can ingest?
Now fizzy drinks must also go. 
Those full of sugar or so low.
So if you do, none of these.
Life should be like a fresh breeze!
