Nutritionists’ Lists
They want me to write lists
I tell them alright; no problem
They’re probably right
After all, they’re just wanting to help
Doing a job, looking after my health
So then, I get to thinking
And I say to myself; what will be next?
I told them I would, but really I’d rather write poems
Or stories for children, of goblins and gnomes
I’d rather write love letters to my beautiful wife
Or write to my children of how I miss them and can’t wait to get home
What if I wrote of the hate of some men?
And of what we could do if only love were a plan
I want to write about learning to fly
How my heart loves to sing to the music l like
I want to write about Barack Obama
We were born in the same year
And we both lost our mamas
Don’t get me going on him
I love that man like a brother
I’d write about blaming all of this world’s ills on “the other”
I can write about so many things
But I won’t write about everything I eat
Guess I will have to write those nutritionists a note
