5 A Day - Jenny Hamon

5 a day is what they say
We need to keep ourselves healthy
By hard as I try
I cannot lie
I can never eat more than three

The vitamins are good to have in our food
They keep coughs and colds at bay
But I find that the roughage
Knocks out all my stuffing
If I try to eat 5 a day

So who made this idea for us to adhere
Have they tried to stick to the rule?
Cos if they can
Without visiting the pan
They must have the insides of a mule

I will try to eat more fruit and veg
And maybe cut down on the fat
But just an apple a day
Keeps the doctor away
And I’ll be happy with that
