.4. What Diet Poem by David Threadgold

.4. What Diet

Rating: 5.0


Tripe and onions
What a treat
One old man said
Can’t be beat

Brawn in jelly
Lumps of fat
Bits of meat
He liked that

Large pig’s chaps
Golden roast
More thick fat
He liked the most

Many told him
Diets wrong
But at ninety eight
He’d lasted long

Another delightful poem! For some, all the fat in the world won't kill 'em! I love a brown roast with crispy fat all around. Num num! Love your poem too, David. '10! ' from me as well. Warm Wishes, Marilyn

Todays children would never eat what was eaten years ago, we used to have dripping sandwiches with lots of salt and never put weight on but we had more exercise I think, good poem David, 10 Lynda xx
