Food for Thought
Virginia Salter

Yum, yum, yum,
creamed tuna on toast
strum, strum, strum
I wouldn’t want to boast

Yet since fish is brain food
a let yourself be trained food
the cream it to a delicacy
to make more fancy for you and me

Serve it up on slabs
of luscious charcoaled bread
then to tickle well your sweet imbibe
a bowl of peaches on the side

Is what Professor Marcus tried
and to this day has never died
but merrily he dances free
dreaming dreams so tauntingly

I’d suggest you follow faithfully
the guidance of his wisdom freed
upon the populace in need
of thinking food for wondrous deed

And munch the night away.

Well, JLR, I am trying to determine where this particular tuna had been swimming...heh heh heh. However, maybe it's heat stroke due to thinking about the 3 miles I needed to get in before the sun set all the way down on the blackness of night.

your response got me to giggling too, so thanks for the interlude to my inner tube
