Herb your Enthusiasm

Kevin Hulme

Schools these days are getting so Hip,

With a Nourishing Option they are doing their bit.

As they all are engaged in a Nutritious mood,

And determined in serving the Kids Healthy food.

So its Hello Mr  'Lentil'  and Goodbye Mr 'Chips'

    I have heard that many children do not eat their nutritious meals because they are not used to them and don't like them. Well written

    • Kevin Hulme

      So true . When I was younger it was Fish and Chips. Being English of Course. A daily diet.
      But more Health conscious now.
      Thanks for Reading and sending a Comment.

        Love fish and chips and being older now with little to loose am less health conscious

        Kevin, this is wonderfully silly. Healthy eating has rarely sounded this much like a hostile takeover. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          I Remember having to eat Prunes at Primary School. 🤢 Terrible.

          Memories and a big laugh as a bonus, Kevin.
          School meals in fifties London. Further, fed James Hilton as reading matter too.

            I always Wondered how our School Cook got off at Nuremberg. It was that bad.
            Thank you for Reading.

              What in retrospect still makes me laugh was the literature available to a schoolboy with scabby knees baggy shorts whose environment was an asphalt playground. “Goodbye Mr Chips” was an outlier, but the scene the same: schoolboy exploits were all in a Public School (high class, posh) environment.

              • Kevin Hulme

                I had Scabby Shorts and Baggy Knees.
                My first view of Public School was watching Billy Bunter in the 60s .

                  Beat you to it - I read Billy Bunter stories in The Comet during the '50's......

                    Yup, my battle with triglycerides and company have me in a quandary.

                    • Kevin Hulme

                      Read about Triglycerides. From your reply hope you are well. And thanks for Reading.
