Olive Oil

You asked if we could both eat healthier And I was not excited in the least I tried the kale and beets; they weren't for me Quinoa and tofu taste a lot like air I knew you got frustrated as I smirked You might think to yourself "Is he for me?" I knew I'd have to try again for you The next time we made lunch I took the lead The jar of sandwich spread that I revealed It made you smile and look me in the eye The mayo-nnaise was made with olive oil Less calories and saturated fat We spread it on the bread from multi-grains I said the special words; you knew I cared "...with Olive oil". You said, "I love you too."
