Food for Thought
Food for thought. They say
the world is our oyster.
Variety is the spice of life.
And we live in the land of
milk and honey. We got
eye candy. Flavors of the
month. Toast of the town.
The coolest thing since
sliced bread. The creme de
la creme. All that and a
bag of chips. And if life
gives you a lemon, make
lemonade. But what about
the bad apples and the
sour grapes and the
raspberries and the tough
nuts you can’t crack? Life
may be a banquet but it’s
no picnic, either. But hey,
if you can’t take the heat
then get out of the
kitchen. Cuz you can’t
have your cake and eat it
too. There’s no such thing
as a free lunch. You gotta
break a few eggs if you
want to make an omelette,
you know what I’m
saying? So remember:
You are what you eat.
The proof is in the
pudding, my friend.
How’d you like them
apples?
