Hog Blog

So…….many of you know that my attempts at losing weight have been somewhat less than successful. I have, however, been able to give up Coke altogether. My new vice is FIJI water! I LOVE it!!

Recently, a lot of you know, I had some blood work done. This revealed that my cholesterol/triglyceride levels are quite high. I am a heart attack waiting for a place to happen. Even though my kids are quite a handful sometimes, I definately do not want to orphan them early!

So………I am on my low cholesterol diet. Reading online about this problem has led me to this horrible discovery that pretty much anything that comes from a cow has to be cleared from my menu. So this blog entry is a tribute to the beloved(and yummy) Cow………………..

(Please read the following and imagine that I am atop a large stump in a cow pasture.)

My Salute To The Cow

Oh my beautiful furry friends

Our days together have come to an end

The journey with you has been oh so sweet, er, uh, salty

But my blood work has come back rather faulty

The grill will miss you as it sits by the pool

And at the meat counter they will have to wipe up my drool

Oh, Cows, with US consumption being in the tons

No longer will you add more girth to MY buns

So, I must leave you now with great haste

For your steak is making my blood turn to paste

Go back to peacefully chewing your cud

No longer a predator, I am your bud

Even though it will make me cry

To your yummy rump roasts I now say,”Goodbye”
