POETRY : Five a Day by Pauline Simpkiss

I cor be doing with all that talk about the things we cor ate
no chips, no burgers, no baercon
and cutting the fat off yer mate.
And then there's this thing called "cholestral"
It wor invented when I wos a lad
We ate what we liked had a drink and a smoke
and I ay turned out too bad
Me dad used to ate bread and dripping
for each meal if he had his way
now we hear saft talk about fruit and veg
and how we should eat five a day.
I ve done some research for the brewey
and there's nutritional value in hops
So a pints just as good as opples and pays
and other fruit and veg wot yer buy in the shops
When I ve had a few pints of best bitter
I'm happy and full of good cheer
Yo know wot to do with your fruit and veg
I ll stick to me five pints of beer.
