Graham crackers and milk
A delicious youthful treat
Sometimes with cinnamon or honey
made you wiggle your feet.
Butter crackers and sticky cheese
Eaten with a red plastic thing
Made us goofy with anticipation.
But now, we eat melba toast
Avoiding carbs and fat
Forgetting simple pleasures
From our past.
Eat some ice cream.
Throw away the Slimfast™.
Enjoy the things they tellus shouldn't last.
Maybe we should trick-or-treat again.
Throw cavity caution to the wind.
Don't fight the inner child
Even though it's been a while
It's just like riding a bike, I say.
Don't jog, try skipping for a change.
Fitness comes in many forms.
Feed your your spirit the nourishment it needs.
Even if you get a few grass-stained knees.

I loved the "cheese product" and crackers and the "red plastic" thing.
My grandmother used to feed me butter and sugar sandwitches....
My toes are wiggling just thinking about it.
