FIVE FRUITY HAIKU A DAY !

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

EAT FRUIT IN SEASON & OUT OF SEASON !

 

ORANGES  are not

the only fruit ~ d'you agree

with Vitamin C !

 

An APPLE a day

keeps Doctor away ~ helps you

to work rest and play !

 

GRAPES of wrath ~ they make

me laugh ~ especially when I 

tread them in the bath !

 

PEARS they cure the blues 

come in twos ~ like Noah's Bears

also came in pears !

 

BANANAS are great

bent ~ curved or straight ~ what a shame

they all taste the same !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN

 

Are you getting FIVE a DAY ?  The Monkey & Rabbit

Society advises Five Fruit AND Five Veggies per day !

  • Comment from author about the poem: To keep your metabolism (tummy) in balance you must include FRUIT & VEG as part of our balanced diet. You never see a fat tightrope walker ! Having five fruit and five veg every day requires discipline and planning. I make veggie soup for the whole week on a Saturday and freeze it. I have a BANANA every morning (I'm a bit of a Monkey !) three veg with dinner and fruit for dessert. Instead of pigging on chocolate I nibble on apples and pears and tangerines. I do eat meat but not everyday and I eat fish at least twice a week. Eat healthy ~ enjoy life and live longer ~ AMEN ~ Love to ALL ~ BRIAN XOX

    Like you I follow a healthy diet - never eaten a McDonalds - like to nibble on a carrot - perhaps that's why I've got big ears !! Somewhere recently there was a report saying you should eat 10 a day - well I would end up like a balloon - full of wind. Yup - liked the haikus Brian.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks MICHAEL ~ for a very apposite and encouraging comment ~ as usual ! If you nibble on a carrot ~ you may end up with a conk like a Parrot. 10 a day ~ blows the blues away. Thanks ~ BRIAN

      You have just mentioned nearly every fruit that I eat in my daily lunch the only difference being a plum instead of an apple, I have them after I have had a home made roll (from my own baking) spread with cheese.

        Good Man GF ~ Healthy eating is the answer to longevity ! At the rate you are going you wil easily make the new target of 125 years ~ Healthy mind and Spirit in a healthy body ! Yours BRIAN

          I'm gonna be naughty, but refined. Otherwise I make myself swoon! heehee. Fruity?? And are we getting 'enough'? Oh you mean enough fruit! heehee.

        • orchidee

          Chocolate in Lent? It's from pagan origins anyway (see comments on my poem). I only said 'no choccie biccies', now am into a theological argument. Not about the biccies, about Lent. doh! oh do shut up Orchi and go back to sleep. lol.
