Eat Your Greens!

By Deb and Dane “You need to eat real greens.” Mom alarm! The child went for the ‘ucky Charms. “What? You're eating sugar transformed!” They don’t grow that on any farm!” “You need to eat real greens.” Mom said. Boyo reached for the Charms instead. “But Ma. The box says it full of vitamins!” “Better be! It wasn’t laid by hens!” “That cereal is nothing but sugar, honey. Companies sell it to makes lots of money.” “Then, why’d Dad buy it for the house? Did you plan to feed it to the mouse?” “You need to eat garden-fresh food. You know; been told, I’m in NO mood.” “PLEASE, Ma! Charms and milk won’t cause harm! Milk does come from a dairy farm” “’ucky Charms might be a nice snack, But meals must be nutrition packed.” “You eat lots of Charms, zap! It seems. More vitamins than ‘ucky greens! Three bowls downed were his tasty meal. Out like a light, he seemed to reel. (Sugar shock set in, burnt him out.) He woke SO sick. Was there a doubt? “We’re going to the Doctor now! Mother said shouting "Holy Cow!" He’ll give you a little pink pill. To cure ALL your rambunctious ills (Rushed to the doctor for some help.) Sick as a dog was this young whelp. Dad had to pay for ‘ucky Charms Boyo paid for not eating FARM! Corps. got paid, pill and cereal. Doc. got paid insurance by deal. Round and round so this story goes. EAT RIGHT and you'll stop THEIR green flow.
