"Just think of the cholesterol,
The fat and all that salt.
You're sure to have a heart attack, And it'll be your fault."

"The burgers and the curry,
And the Chinese take-away,
They might taste nice, but wait and see,
You'll pay the price one day."

The salad eater smugly sat,
And munched another leaf. She stared right at my burger,
With a sense of disbelief.

"Fast Food will be the death of you!"
The salad eater said.
While she shovelled down some lentils,
And sighed and shook her head.

And that was when it happened.
Something no one could predict.
So shocking, it would make
a healthy eater feel quite sick.

"Just look at me, so healthy,
I'll outlive you all" She bragged.
The she breathed a little lentil in,
And wretched and choked and gagged.

She turned a funny colour,
And I did all that I could.
But any effort made to save her,
Didn’t do a scrap of good.

The moral of this story,
(Just in case you couldn't tell)
Is that, yes, junk food could kill you,
But a salad could as well.

And a life of healthy eating, Could be seen as slightly mental,
If you end up dead aged 30,
Being murdered by a lentil.

I wonder what you contemplate,
As your days just pas you by,
Perhaps you long to find a mate,
Or maybe catch a fly?

Or maybe you just simply choose
To sit there and observe,
How easily you make me lose, My somewhat flaky nerve
