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. I refuse to bruise, So, easily, You see… I don’t like being black and blue, Do you? It cooperates, With calcium, It facilitates, They report, It [...]

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. Organosulfur, Will you go so far, As to protect me, How soon, Can I be immune? Instantly? I confess, I’m not that Herculean, I surrender, Can you render, The carcinogen, Harmless? What about that [...]

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. Not equal, To vitamin, Nor phytochemical, But, then again… Just as critical. I’m in the dark, Can you help me see, You give my eyes [...]

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, [...]

Brain Food

A full spectrum of colors, Including the deepest green… As well as, all the others, And, delve into vitamin B12, Found only [...]

Mustard’s Final Stand
lyrics I’ve been thinking hard, About mustard, And, how I’ve been a retard… Thinking only to squirt, On dog or burger. But, thinking further… It’s a plant, Growing in the dirt. Strange… I didn’t see, More vitamin C, Than an orange. Huge amounts, Where it counts, Of A, B… iron, phosphorous, And, calcium, What do [...]
