Enjoy Life
My doctor told me,
He could add ten years to my life,
If I followed his instructions,
And stayed away from strife.
He put me on a diet,
I needed to lose weight.
No more sweets or starches,
And write down everything I ate.
Start exercising each day,
Charting the hour of my success,
Drink plenty of water,
A gallon he though would be best.
I decided to change doctors,
Concerning my health I have a say.
What is ten more years,
When I'm toothless, old and gray.
