An Urn of Cough Drops The Health Dilemma

The Health Dilemma: A Song

These days it’s so important to eat healthy,
But I don’t see what’s up with all the fuss,
And not to mention I’d be most unwealthy,
Were I to buy the foods they say I must.
For what could pack more sweetness than a candy?
Or top the ice cream scoop on ice cream cones?
I’d never trade an ice cream cone for sherbet,
I’d eat it with some cake and jellied scones.
     I’d stretch my life’s parameters to Jupiter,
     I’d find the furthest reach of Saturn’s ring—
     For there are other moons for making moon pies,
     And sweetness far beyond our worldly things.
