Goiter

Little of no Vitamin C
And Scurvy is what you shall see;
The iodine-poor diet: Goiter
And it’d continue to loiter:
A lot of pulsing and bouncing
Like a ball for a team’s trouncing;
On one’s sad neck hanging around,
Auto-immune disorders hound!

Then, somehow, can one it avoid
And have not The Bogus Thyroid: 
Lots of what richly give Iodine 
Safe diet, no Cimetidine...

Goiter not good for camera,
Snapshots skipping it chimera.

Things that can be prevented in this day and age with a little help by including iodine in salt and vitamin c in fruit juice, canned fruit, canned tomatoes, etc. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading this one. Sara
