Goodbye To Ms Spratt
By Elton Camp
While Jack Spratt his diet may hate
He hasn’t got a problem with weight
And he won’t have any trouble at all
With his level of the bad cholesterol
What Jack puts on his plate
His doctor does highly rate
Mrs. Spratt may be another story
Far too soon, she will go to glory
Her state of health just can’t be right
Because her type of food is a fright
Since she limits her eating to fat
Many problems will come from that
With calories, her diet is replete
She gains weight, head to feet
Her cholesterol is through the sky
Triglycerides to measure, don’t try
The road to Type II Diabetes
Are food choices like these
To reform her diet she must try
Or prematurely we’ll say goodbye
