You’ll never hear an orange sneeze.
     It doesn’t catch a cold.
They’re full of Vitamin C of course,
     Which protects us, we are told.
 
Now a cod’s a really lucky fish,
     Packed with Omega 3,
So a cod won’t get arthritis -
     Quite unlike poor old me.
 
Salmon’s not just good to eat
     But makes our brains work well.
A salmon would write poetry
     If only he could spell.
 
Apples help to keep you young -
     They’ve antioxidants inside,
Perhaps they also would stay young
     If apples could but hide.
 
Fruit is important to our health -
     Eat five fruits every day -
Then you’ll be fit and healthy
     And that’s exactly how you’ll stay.
