Second Thoughts

In this world of constant change

Suggestions made to rearrange

Science says, and doctors too

Switch your menu and attitude

Research shows that healthy foods

Extend our lives, and alter moods

Lose the calories, avoid the fat

Eat green veggies and all of that

Make a nice salad, be hip with the kale

Seek garden goodies, put color in pale

Give up the junk food, desserts, and pies

Eat more fresh carrots, good for your eyes

Watch what you eat and sacrifice taste

Eat salt free crackers and bland spreads they make

Bake what you cook, some broiled is nice

Forget the potatoes, and stick with brown rice

I've tried different foods, and attempted a fix

I just can't adjust to generic trail mix

I've had second thoughts, I'm changing direction

Going back home, to old fashion connections

Back to my chicken, fried in a pan

A bratwurst in kraut, a corn dog in hand

Biscuits and gravy like mom used to make

Filled to the max till my belt buckle breaks

Roast me some pig, some barbequed meat

Something substantial, some pork chops to eat

Give me some chips, some dip or some cheese

Pass me the nachos and Doritos please

I like to eat food that smells so great

Hot from the kitchen, taste buds awake

A treat like beef, with au jus, oh wow

Grill me a steak, a piece of that cow

I understand what the specialist say

But God will decide my judgement day

I'll take home cooking, not a rabbits delight

I've had second thoughts, it's stuffed pizza tonight
