THE DINNER

Pleasant greetings start the day as diners eat together,
For friendship, food and fellowship no matter outside weather,
Each meal and with a caring nod, servers cheer the day,
And always have a pleasant smile while carrying order trays.

Crisp and green, the salads help fill our enzyme needs,
With dressings made with three main oils giving diners healthy leads.
“They’ve washed them too, from residue,” a grateful system cried,
“The fish is broiled, the yams are baked, Hooray, there’s nothing fried.”

I asked my surgeon what to eat to help improve my sight,
“Eat coloured fruits and vegetables, and you’ll be doing it right.
And while you’re at this exercise, recall – this food helps the heart.
All foods that are not overcooked – is another important part.

Our tummy counters waited for, refills for their store.
Since the protein bins were empty, and enzymes needed more.
A thankful body, trained within, could now mend injured parts,
And send their healing messages from the brain to fix the heart.

The carbonated beverages, much like that Trojan horse,
Claimed very little sugar had been added at the source.
Some diners always read small print and found this was a lie,
Cut out the sugared drinks for health, for some had wondered why.

We honour too our busy chefs and their helpers too,
Who find new ways and the time, to help both me and you.
Learning more about the import foods, that locally would thrive,
Save shipping costs, have better air – healthy, wealthy and wise.

It came about on meeting day one said it would be nice to know
More about the land nearby where salad foods could grow.
In the early days of spring we could do our exercise outside,
Breathing that fresh morning air, where improved health would thrive.
