Keep all of your toes , Rose
Take care of your sight Dwight
( for all you T1/T2 dibetics out there)

Careful with the wine , Devine

With apologies to Mr. Gershwin:

They’re making apple pies, but not for me
Those lovely sugar highs, but not for me
Although I can’t dismiss the joys of carbo bliss
I guess they’re not for me.

Go bulletproof, Ruth

This gives me an idea for a parody song, to the tune of “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” by Paul Simon around the late '70s. If you remember this, congratulations, you’re old.

The most important thing in parodies is the meter has to match, verse for verse, like that does.

There must be 50 ways to stall on keto.

Great. Now I have an ear worm.

I recently reached the heights of my poetic career, by being featured on the MAIL! portion of 2KD… I was scorned as Richard did not sing it! but I have forgiven him…
ah hem…
“Richard had a little lamb, a little pork, a little ham,
Richard had a little duck and butter in his coffee” to the tune of mary had a little lamb… I can now retire! :rofl::bacon:
