Down amongst the cabbages, <br />In amongst the peas, <br />Trying to get their five-a-day <br />To keep the Government pleased. <br /> <br />Over by the whiskey, <br />Comfortable by the wine, <br />They've got to count their units <br />To keep their livers fine. <br /> <br />Sweating at their keep fit club, <br />Jogging at the track, <br />Keeping up their pulse rates <br />To stop a heart attack. <br /> <br />Working on their midriffs, <br />They're cutting out the fat, <br />They're careful with the sugar, <br />Do pushups on the mat. <br /> <br />Me - I drink my brandy, <br />Eat chocolate daily as a a treat, <br />I'll try some fruit much later <br />When I've eaten my red meat. <br />I toast all health fanatics, <br />Even those who race upon the track, <br />Then light another cigarette - <br />The last one in the pack!<br /><br />Joe Hughes visit joehughes.org.uk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/health-fanatics/
