What Can I Eat?

I don’t want Swine flu So no more pork for me I don’t want Bird flu So no chicken fricassee I don’t want mad cow disease So no more Beef for me I don’t want Salmonella So no dippy eggs for tea With mercury in the water I will no longer eat fish There is pollution in the air So I’ll eat no bird related dish I cannot eat any type of fruit Because of insecticides And all vegetables are out Because of the herbicides So I am at a loss now To know what I can eat There is of course chocolate But then what would be my treat?
