The symposia on health
Will be on the weekend
Join us and bring a friend
Your body is your wealth

Addresses healthy food
Boiled water as example
Less fat, carbs than the apple
And no need to be chewed

With free t-shirt and ham
And some other offers
Please spread it to the others
Rest assured it's not a sham
