Loyd Leugen Schafter stood on his head And bent his body double, Then rubbed his face with aloe vera And shaved his morning stubble. He laced his milk with vitamins In their most potent liquid form And spooned oat bran into his mouth And sipped his green tea warm. He never gained an ounce of weight, Nor to stress capitulated And said "au revoir" to dinner Somewhat short of being sated. He did aerobics before dawn, And each evening meditated, And ran a thorough background check On women that he dated. That he was a perfect specimen Of manly health can't be denied, So we're astonished to report That somehow Mr. Schafter died. |

Yeah, that's how it works too, smoke cigars, chew tobacco, dink heavy, and mingle in foreign substance and you'll live to a ripe old age. Good poem  ------------------ Michael Anderson Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? |
