Phytochemicals

lyrics Plant yourself down, And, take a look around, Can you see, How you relate, To the things before me, And, on your plate? This is a rant… About phyto, Which means — plant, So, quick, Pronto, Let’s go, So, that I can fix, What ails, And, slow the nails, From my coffin, Improving my [...]

Vitamin K

lyrics What did you say, Vitamin K? No way! It sounds absurd, How come I’ve never heard? Sorry, my fault, I forgot, If it’s not, My blood won’t clot.

Garlic, Chives And Scallions

Allium Sphaerocephalon, Tuberosum & Fistulosum lyrics Geeze! The Chinese, Have been eating these, Prior to 3,000 B.C., That’s way before me.

Carotenoids

lyrics I try not to avoid, Carotenoid, Oh, Mary, Mary, Quite the contrary, How does my garden, Grow? By trying to know, What beta carotene, Does mean, To my well-being.

Color Me Dumb

lyrics If you have a carrot, Will you share it? Color me dumb, But, how come, People are colorblind, When food comes to mind? Which do we prefer, The carrot, Or, the stick? It’s hard to compare it, To a carrot, So, color me dumb, But, how come, We defer, When it comes to diet? [...]

Blooming Idiot

lyrics I just found out, I’m breeding animals, It took me about… All my life. But, before I grab the butcher’s knife, I’d better figure, The particulars, Because… Though it’s been said, I’m a vegetable, I’m really a meat head, And, now the buzz – I’m a blooming idiot. Yup, that’s it, I forgot to [...]

Spirit, Mind And everyBody

lyrics How disciplined, Can I be, About thinking, Openly? Instead of my mind shrinking, It could be expanded? My first obstacle, How hard can I think, About thinking with ease? I suppose, You could call this, A brain tease? And, by trying to cipher, I strengthen my brain, But, it’s best done, With no strain, [...]
