Poem: Lets Get Physical
By: Donovan Baldwin
In my blood cholesterol rages,
Causing geometric increase of my ages,
Measured by official cholesterol gauges.
I try to dissuade, disavow, and distract,
But the doctor restates with so little tact,
My health's in danger - and that's a fact.
So, I turn to food most decidedly lean,
Although this fare will turn me mean,
I suppose I can eat it, as long as it's green.
But, some night when I've had all the greens I can take,
And, the whole world's asleep, yet, I'm still awake,
I'll dine in the moonlight... on a blood red steak.
