To Your Health

To Your Health I read an article that said laughing's good for you It strengthens the heart muscle, it's something you should do It made me think about my health and all the things I see That I should eat to guarantee a new and better me So I thought that I would change, what do I have to lose If all the experts say its right, it must not be a ruse I just got back from shopping, bought a lot of healthy things I'm going to test the theory, see what improvements that it brings Today, while on my treadmill, I snacked on tofu puffs While lifting dead weights with my arms, but that was not enough I quenched my thirst with carrot juice, all freshly squeezed of course And munched on a granola bar, a sure heart healthy source I had a bowl of Cheerios, floating in some Silk I'd heard that it was healthier then even nonfat milk For lunch I had a yogurt, it was the non fat kind I also hid the salt shaker, out of sight, out of mind Later in the day I thought I'd like to take a break So to sooth my hunger, I munched on a rice cake By dinner I was ravenous, my cravings unfulfilled This healthy kick that I was on was not as it was billed I guess I need to give more thought to the changes I will make But for now I'll finish up, this inch thick pan seared steak Perhaps I moved too quickly, cause I don't like the food I bought So starting with tomorrow, I'll just laugh a lot Placed 12th in D.P."s ANY FUNNY POEM contest
