Wouldn't it be just an ordinary day
with weight gain otherwise held at bay;
do calls from a vegetable counter increase?
are old consumption habits now deceased?

You live the land of the free
that land of the shopping spree.

life in the land of the free
choicest articles from which to feed....
remember back when items were spotty
now with various apples to choose
some minds go dotty

life in the land of the free fruit stand
is governed by the consumer protected brand

consumers are attracted to the polished fruit
like the shine emanating from some slick boot,
synonymous with a protected brand
a highlight in a consumer's stand

now it's not the same as the attracted fly
that comes to rest on the fruit by and by;
think they were happier with the spotted kind
the bird pecked versions with the dotted rind

life in the land of free fruit
is frequented by a polished boot.
