Mag#l20 Green Man Fortified

GREEN MAN FORTIFIED

Sooner or latter
you knew
it would come to this
eating so many fruits and veggies
you became what you ate

and now what you ate
is eating you
"Am I just a Green Man Fortified?"
"Am I just a Green Man Fruitified?"
"Am I just a Green Man Vegetable Stir Fry?"
The answer is "Yes and No".

Although you look like all of the above you are more than this...
You are more than your morning fruit smoothy or your
Raw Green diet...you are living vegetable matter finery
your eyes; black grapes
your nose; a pear or potato
your lips; two cherries
your chin: some sort of kumquat
the rest of you?
an assortment of a vegetarian smorgasbord
a fine tableau of the best provender's art
a gastronome's delight
a still life man-made alive
i wont soon forget
to eat my vegetables and fruit
down this Green Man fortified?
in a smoothy made mush

hmmm...where to begin?
blender on puree~
down the hatch
Green Man...
get into my belly~!!!

morale of the story;
~ don't forget to eat your fruit and veggies! 5-10 a day~!
