fruit salad

why is it, you ask
that physicians tell us
an apple a day…
(is their worst enemy)
could it be that our
grandmothers were right
and a ripe apricot
or a yellow melon
would do the same?
we could certainly try
pink grapefruit
dark blue Tuscan grapes
or even orange bell peppers...
we are children of the earth
so prepare lettuce greens
with nuts and berries
and grains grown freely
in unpolluted fields
avoiding man-made synthetic ingredients
and other useless artificial substances…
ever since Adam and Eve
man's curiosity has taken him
farther away from nature’s simplicity
freshly grown produce
is the best friend of illness
so an apple a day
a pear, a persimmon, or a kiwi
keeps you healthy
wealthy (no physician's bills)
and wise
