Beware of Most Food

Carrots are not good for you
    nor is Ovaltine
  Beets can make your urine stink
    Purple onions make you mean

  Grapefruit's too acidic
    raw eggs can make you loose
  Give a kid an overripe peach

Moderation is the key! You won't have to vet your pee!! Good one GW and remember- Too many " chips" expands your hips! Happy Friday!

I hope I don't have to 'vet my pee,' Brother Mike. Too busy vetting Vivek Ramaswamy anyway. So far, I've turned up that he's a direct descendant of the 'Duke and the Dauphin' in Huckleberry Finn, Snake-oil salesman that he is! lol. ;) gw

A chuckle to wake me up. Most children probably would refuse the peach and chose chips or candy instead. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara
