Vegetable Disaster
They're supposed to be good for you, gluten free,
but then a health record may not be a mystery;
now it transpires some may give you polymialgia,
narrowing of blood vessels, kidney problems, neuralgia.
We are animals, need meat and protein so they say,
where is the truth, we ask for proof along the way,
fresh fruit must be okay but eating sugar not so good,
we don't worry, disbelieve what's going on with our blood.
All things in moderation according to my religious sect,
the trouble is that you just don't know what may affect,
if it works for you then I suppose that it must be fine,
it may be too late, you're just too far down the line.
My wife is busy cooking a huge butternut squash,
I don't know about you but I'm not very keen on 'mush.'
