FOOD by Eeyore (me)
Cheese is good for your knees,
Eggs are good for your legs
And meat is good for your feet.
Eels are good for your heels,
Snails are good for your nails,
While liver, kidneys and other glands
Are good for your hands.
Anything made from grain
Is good for your brain.
(Bread is especially good for your head,
Which is where they get the expression: "Use your loaf".)
Chips are good for your lips,
Leeks are good for your cheeks,
While caviare and other roes
Are good for your toes.
Whether they contain blackberry and apple, veal and ham or chicken and mushroom,
Pies,
Are good for your eyes.
The milk of the goat
Is good for your throat.
Guinness, Murphys, Newcastle Brown and all dark beers,
Are good for your ears.
While an occasional nip of gin
Does wonders for your chin.
And that is the position
Regarding the real facts about nutrition.
