The Price of Life

My recent encounter, an annual checkup with blood tests and pressure, my height against weight are all carried out to check my bits are working and put back the time where I cross Heaven's gate. I could tell porky pies* and thus possibly fiddle the whole diagnosis and how it turned out but the cholesterol count, and the flab round the middle meant the nurse wasn't fooled and results held no doubts. I've got to cut down on the red meats like bacon, and white meat like chicken has proteins and fat I thought cheese was OK, but no, I was mistaken and pastries and biscuits? Forget about that. So into the future, a healthier lifestyle me confident now all the boxes are ticked, you'll spot me, no ignoring the pale looking,boring guy sat on his own with a celery stick. ( *Porky pies- 'Lies' . Cockney rhyming slang)
