Meaningful motions.

HO ! I've set out on the path to health
I'll have creaks and groans no more
Fit as a mallee bull I'll be
And maybe I'll last just long enough to spend me wealth !

Every morning now we have the vegie juice
Lovingly prepared by Fred, “She Who Knows”
Now get this into you she says
I drink it down, and I'm feeling fairly spruce !

It’s cost a fortune but now we are committed
As well as vegie juice we're making "smoothies"
From fruits and stuff that’s good
It’s a fight for health to which my heart is pitted.

Now this sounds very well indeed and so it should
I know its bound to do me good
This I know as I can feel it happening
But I have a small disquiet, I'd like share it if I could.

This vegie juice looks awful, its brown and tastes like yuk !
To drink it down is no mean feat
It puts new meaning on the term "acquired taste"
But the Missus, she drinks it down, quite likes the muck !

It gets worse from here, since we've gone and bought a blender
It pulverises up the stuff that you put in
Bananas and celery, apples and fruit etc
This makes a "smoothie" and it sends me on a bender

To the John, from where I'm rather afraid I cannot leave
No, I can't come to the phone
'Cos I'm having the meaningful motions
Aw, this getting healthy is causing me to grieve !

But, I will stick it out - even if lays me low
And if I go, I go…
And in the morgue they'll cut me up and look inside
I can hear the doctor saying "Much greener and he'd glow !"

A Haiku to the eliminative benefits of the juice diet.

Green is the output
Green smoothies are the input
"Oh what a feeling!"

I worry about you lot

[epictetus]

With reason, probably. 

Nothing like toilet humour to lower the tone.
