Oh to eat and enjoy a sandwich perhaps,
with a little fresh greens and accompaniment.
Sourdough with some hot mustard spread,
A sandwich to enjoy with no embarrassment.
We are told to stop eating processed foods
and cut down on carbohydrates too.
If it’s green or colorful eat all you can,
and exercise a bit as well my friend.
To live is to eat, drink and be well.
Are we afraid of living in a world critical,
where others prescribe a lifestyle of less,
or simply can we not manage ourselves?
Enjoy what we have, for someday it will be gone,
and worrying about mismanaged desires too.
Covet less, expectations be damned.
The world is our cooked oyster bake,
and summer’s calling us to partake.
