Dwell On the Value of Milk

Having been brought up in the country
living close to a farm we got our milk
being always available on every night
so lovely to drink tasting like silk

Remembering early days at primary school
there you got a carton of milk each day
all was very good for your potassium level
having a love for this on your milky way

Breakfast time having cereal with milk
the right buildup to start your morn
a pudding and custard is such a sweet
your taste buds feel just been born

So much gets made from dairy milk
cheese, butter, yoghurts to name a few
think where would we be without it
missing so much our colours be blue

Dwell on the value of milk
so very smooth ever so white
go on drink deep a pinto
keeps you strong through the night

I love milk but milk does not like me - it flares up my sinuses - it is silky and immensely soothing. Stay well and safe my friend, Blessings, Jennifer.

You're right. It's an amazing food. I once heard all you need to survive is milk and potatoes. Have a great day my friend.
