Juiced

Every morning, all my life, I drink a glass of juice. It helps the pills go down And it is healthy, you’d deduce. But as I just discovered, If you did, you would be wrong, For fruit juice in a healthy diet Just does not belong. It’s filled with sugar, so much so It’s worse than drinking Coke. How awful when assumptions You have had go up in smoke! A fruit in its entirety Is best, the experts said, So it would be much better Eating oranges instead. This knowledge is engaging But I’ll cling to this excuse – I’ve survived this long so I will stick, Each morning, with my juice.
