The good life

By jeffrkeith

Hypertension and cholesterol

Do-nuts by the dozen,

Roast pork and a plate of crackling

Killed my second cousin.

 

Dieting and exercise

The leanest of lean cuts,

His sister learned from his mistakes

Until it drove her nuts.

    This isn’t true (as far as I know) but the next poem is based on a story a friend told me about his experiences picking tomatoes in Bowen.

    I do love the crackling though!
