Five A Day

I’ve heard it said we should have five a day If healthy is how we desire to stay I’ve planned my diet and so I can say I’ll get five a day and I’ll be okay I’ve ordered a cocktail with cherries in And asked for some lemon - sliced - in my gin My Bloody Mary with tomato juice Has vodka, with olives put to good use That’s how I’ll stay fit and live forever Five a day’s easy, if you play clever But you’re looking smug, “That’s just four,” you say Well I’m not missing my quota today Check out the bartender and you will see I’ve ordered a strawberry daiquiri

hilarious, Terry. Reminds me of a woman with whom I worked who tried to convince me she was getting her quota of fruit a day eating various 'berry' and fruity muffins--lemon, cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, etc. You crack me up...have a great weekend, Sara
