Eating Healthy

Eating Healthy

A Poem by G. K. Bostic

Healthy food's the way to eat.

Gnaw those apples to the core.

Lettuce, tomatoes, no red meat,

Buying food at the Health Food Store.


Broccoli and cauliflower on my plate,

Skinless chicken and oven broiled fish,

I'm not just healthy, I'm losing weight

Cause there's no taters on my dish.


But it's awfully bland...not much taste,

A little more flavor could make me cheer up;

Needs something on it...quick..post haste,

Would somebody pass me the chocolate syrup?

A lot of fun to read as well - good ending. Well done generally, and while I don't suspect this was meant to be a tightly metered poem, throughout the meter holds for many of the lines, making the few that violate the meter stand out. Good work.gh
