Why do things that do you good, taste so bad.

Why do things that do you good, taste so bad.

 

Why do things that do you good, taste so bad

I really, really, don’t know,

I take a tablet for a headache

And it sticks right here in my throat

 

How does my brain allow me,

to swallow that horrid tablet

with science and advancement

I’m sure that was not in the design

 

It has no added sugar

and also, has reduced salt

there are no added fats,

and definitely no added oils

 

OH, please mother nature

Tell me what’s next in line?

So now I have a tooth ache

Which is throbbing all the time.

 

I went to see the dentist

A needle he gave me,

Some came out the needle

and trickled down into to my throat

 

You have got to be jesting

my tongue feels like its bloated

and its doubled twice its size

Oh why do things that do you good, really taste so bad.

 

Who invents these horrid tastes

I think its to trick your brain

And get you to remember

Why you are in so much pain

 

It could have been avoided

It’s the things you eat, you know?

That wear down you enamel

and, make holes in your teeth

For that food to go.


So next time you eat a doughnut

Covered in sugar and ****

Remember that horrid taste

You won’t want to come back.

 

Talking of swallowing tablets

I take a few you know

I take quite a cocktail

For things that are not on show

 

The brain just keeps on going

Its trying to do its best

but I keep taking tablets

to complete a simple quest

 

The reason that they taste so bad

is to make you really think,

do I need that tablet

Or just put it down the sink.

 

I have to take what the doctor says

And swallow these foul things

And maybe it will teach me

To take care,

OH, why do things that do you good, really taste so bad.

      a poem about a poem?

    Poem – about a poem.


    I want to write a poem

    I think you need to know

    I need to get some pointers

    To see which way to go

    I need to have a heading

    To set me off I know

    But when you get right down to it

    You need to let, your mind go

     

    It could be about spring time

    Or at the bowling alley

    Or up into the mountains

    Amongst all that thick, thick, snow

    Looking at the sun set

    Those golden rays so bright

    Or just looking into the pale, pale, moon light

     

    Your mind has no boundary’s

    On what it wants to do

    Just look inside your self

    There’s what you want to do

    I stare at my wife, I’ve known her for some time

    I look at my kids who I see all the time

    I look at my dog, a great big ball of fluff

    And makes me think of all the different kinds of stuff

     

    So here I am just wondering what to write about

    When everything is in front of me

    And that’s without a doubt

    So come on all you writers

    Who read all the other posts

    There is a writer in all of us

    Just screaming to get out

     

    It doesn’t have to rhyme

    It seem to make some sense

    So write down what you think

    Just show one line at a time

    Can’t wait to see your post

    And read what you have put

    So come on guys (and girls) get cracking

    I’m bouncing, how about you.

    Once you start writing

    You won’t know when to stop
