A NICE TREAT
It’s good to have a nice treat, candies, cookies or cake,
Most of these are bad, to eat too many is a mistake,
But today I have a treat that fills me with delight,
And as for my restricted diet the fit in just right.
I have a small bag of cherries on special today,
So tasty as well as healthy I can just munch away,
No worry about cholesterol content or salt or fat,
They also include vitamins and my body needs that.
A lovely bag of cherries but I’ll try and not pig out
Or I will get the trots, I know that without a doubt.
I have already had a handful, a few more should be fine,
It is a shame that on sweet cherries we do not always dine.
