Funny, but true. I think some people now days worry a little to much about their diet.

                            Methuselah ate what he found on his plate,
                            And never, as people do now,
                            Did he note the amount of the calory count;
                            He ate it because it was chow.
                            He wasn't disturbed as at dinner he sat,
                            Devouring a roast or a pie,
                            To think it was lacking in granular fat
                            Or a couple of vitamins shy.
                            He cheerfully chewed each species of food,
                            Unmindful of troubles or fears
                            Lest his health might be hurt
                            By some fancy dessert;
                            And he lived over nine hundred years.
