You Are What You Eat

Mike Berger's most recent poem here was Eat Your Heart Out Robert Frost. Have you noticed that Mike makes good use of humor in his poetry?

You Are What You Eat
By Mike Berger

Some friends invited me to a 
"You Are What You Eat" seminar.
It proved to be most enlightening.
The presenter made some excellent
points. For example, those who eat
meat tend to be more assertive.
Vegetarians tend to be more docile.
I took his insights to heart.

My wife has always complained that
I am too harsh on the kids. I thought
I would change my diet and see if
that helped. I went on  a chocolate
chip cookie diet to help me sweeten
up.

I have to report that my diet only
partially worked. I still yell at the kids.
But with this 75 pounds I've gained,
I can't chase them around the house ...
