About the only GMO food I’d eat
Is something delicious that would
Keep bugs off my body make me
Smell clean that’s what I’d eat
It doesn’t have to be green like
So many other healthful vegetables
But if it could help me stay thin
OK get thin that wouldn’t be too
Bad either if I broke out in horrible
Pustules all over that might be a
Disincentive unless they would
Occur only in places I could easily
Reach and heal quickly maybe
I’d rather avoid that too I was
Thinking nothing is just pure
Advantage too many tomatoes
Can chancre you up sweets might
Do the same chocolates o lord have
Mercy and onions and garlic might
Taste just fabulous going in what
A trade off just to keep vampires at bay
But if they can engineer foods to
Do some extraordinary good yeah
I know they’re thinking profits
What about us who need to combat
Crooked noses hair loss e-d and
Cellulite much less heart disease
Cancer bunions horrid age spots
Not to say once they’ve gotten the
Technology underway what about
Tender hearts brotherly love racial
Reconciliation willingness to care
For orphans and widows maybe
Even quiet the loudmouths have babies
Who sleep through outdoor concerts
Help husbands remember to put down
The seats exercisers who wiped down
Their machines with antiseptics
Golfers who couldn’t slice and always
Replaced their divots drivers who’d
Stop in a rainstorm help you change
A flat teachers who would only use
Clever new analogies students who’d
Print quickly and legibly preachers
Whose mouths would go dry after
Fifteen minutes loan agents who
Absolutely had to disclose every part
Of the fine print designed to screw you
Auditors who’d show up with
Donuts understandings how mistakes
Can be made mechanics capable of
Saying that’s under warranty wives
Who announce their headaches have
Just gone away I mean as long as
You’re making designer food
Where should it end
Better why
