Methyl
lyrics Methyl, You’re so special, You’re so cool, You make me hot, So, why not, Quit being a fool, And, get a re-fill, Of methyl… I think I will! Methyl cinnamate, Tastes great, Gives my mouth a thrill, Eating basil. Methyl sulfonyl methane, Is critical to remain, Without enough sulfur, I’ll surely suffer. Methyl salicylate, [...]

Peppermint
Mentha Piperita lyrics I thought I had a hint, About mint, But, I didn’t. What do I know? Turns out Pluto, Had a falling out, Over the nymph, Minthe, Once found out about… Pluto’s wife, Persephone, Couldn’t leave it alone, On the world’s stage, She flew into rage, Turning Minthe, Underneath, A lowly plant, To [...]

Quit Bugging Me!
lyrics Did you see what that aphid did? It’s really starting to pester me. You’d think everything has the right, To be free? But, not when it comes to bothering, So, sorry if I sound trite… Reciting: Bug off! Shove off! ’cause I’ve had enough. Quit bugging me, Or, I’ll be forced, To choose your [...]

Moist Spot
lyrics Why not, Find a moist spot? Especially in the winter, When you try to keep hot, Because turning up the heat, Does defeat, Humidity… For humanity, Needs water in the air, To remain fair. We will fall ill, If our skin goes dry, How about an eye, Or, nostril? Why not seek a moist [...]

Vegan Out
lyrics Figuratively, I’m not very good at vegin’, My mind works best, When put to the test. Literally, I’m not very good at vegan, My body works best, When I digest – Combinations, Of God’s creations, Animal, And vegetable. You must have meat, To be complete, Without the B12 vitamin, I can’t say, “I am.” [...]

You Are What You Eat
lyrics Chorus You are what you eat, Drink and breathe, An all natural, Chemical diet, Ain’t that a riot? Heehehe, Most of me, Is made of oxygen? Say that again, Oxygen? So, there… I guess I really am, Filled with hot air. Chorus For a treat, How about some carbon? Would you believe, That we [...]

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 [...]
