Eat Your Brocolli

When we have drunk our coffee to the                                                                           fill from the tables of Starbucks

When we have feasted on ice cream                                                                                               from the cones of Baskin Robins

When we have overindulged ourselves                                                                              and blamed it on McDonald's

 And when the doctor is introducing                                                                                        and prescribing the latest medications

That's when it's time to go back                                                                                              to eating our broccoli and spinach.
