Food 4 Thought

You are what you eat
So dine on game meat
The taste is a treat
And gives you fast feet

Vegetables eat crap
And then take a nap
A slow-running sap
Can sweeten each scrap

Meat may be for men
But wives wonder when
The coq loves the hen
Like Barbie loves Ken

Very clever, Rico! Your description of vegetables is hilarious. Let's stick with a mix of meat and veggies. Some women think men are "dead meat" anyway. (not me) Those last two lines cracked me up. Enjoyed, my friend.

Reminds me of the USAF adage, "female pilots always have crack up" ...... always better than vegetables! Aloha! Rico
