Food Is Too Much

A poem about food.

You should not eat bread…if you are eating a loaf a day.

You should not eat vegetables… if you are eating 2 bucketfuls again.

You should eat fatty things…just not all the time.

You should also eat sugar…but really tow the line.

You should only listen to here…everywhere else is wrong

Because over there they said that…which means I’ve definitely proved them wrong.

Food is too much…because we make it that way.

It can be kept simple…but we want to explain the simpleness away.

Simple food is boring…but simple gets it done.

Drinks and snacks and treats?…there’s a place for all of them.

Food is too much to think about…why bother trying to try?

At the end of the day it’s bedtime…we all need our shut eye.

So keep it simple and buy or build your food easy for next time you are going to eat.
