Nourishment
It’s coffee over tea for me
And bagels over bread.
My other drink of choice is beer
Or, rarely, wine instead.
I like my veggies crunchy,
Even if they’re somehow cooked,
And on pizza or on pasta
I could live ‘cause I am hooked.
My day would not be happy
Without cheese and also fruit,
Plus some cake or pie or cookies,
With an ice cream bowl to boot.
Though my diet wouldn’t satisfy
Most people that I meet,
My mind and body seem content
With what I choose to eat.
