Avocado

All of the fats are bad
Advocates of health said
Avoid them at all times
Axe down butter and cream
And then they found this fruit
Abound with fat that’s good
Adds cream to my dry food

Hey, I love avocados too! And I've read only good things about them. The bad thing is that (at least where I shop) is that they are rediculously high priced! I like them with a little lemon juice sprinkled on them. Thanks for stopping by to read me. Best to you in your writing endeavors./ M
