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 [...]

Spinach

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. 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 [...]
