DANCING WITH FRIENDS

Colorful canary gowns, Flash their shades of gold,
Dancing through the foliage, Includes both young and old.
Inviting each, "Please be my friend, My promise of delight,
So join us in our banquet room, We can make you
feel just right."

And all the while we're swinging 'round, We shed all fancy duds,
And pirouette like skating stars, No need for frothy suds.
My special friend is calcium, We dance so well together,
Distributing to inner guests, The feel of fancy feathers.

You'll find us with your salad greens, That decorate your plate,
Avoiding starches as a food, To keep you feeling great.
Refreshing morning breakfast brings, A scrambled egg with toast,
Whole grains, your tea with lemon juice. Few carbs, they're
blanched out ghosts.

At times, we join another troupe, Green limes, they're juicy friends,
They dance among the salad greens, Another magic blend.
So squeeze my juice, With water mix, They shine your teeth as well,
Helps utilize your calcium, To reach each body cell.

So help yourself to greens each day, Keep body fit and strong,
While dancing with these partners, You'll find your life prolonged.
Imagine all those extra years, More family fun together,
Greens work well with every meal, In sun or cloudy weather.
