Why do deciduous trees, shed their leaves, each year in the fall,
while tall majestic stately firs don’t shed their leaves at all
Most of natures plants grow tall, by reaching for the sun,
but weeping willows reach for the earth, a strange phenomenon.
Soft Coltsfoot buds penetrate the frost, to flower in the spring,
on contrary mother natures patch, variety is king.
Vegetarian tadpoles have quite a long digestive tract,
but as they become carnivorous Frogs, they simply contract.
Humans like tadpoles have a long digestive tract,
we should be vegetarians that’s natures proven fact.
Meats long journey down the body leads to a reaction,
not a pleasant one in fact it’s known as putrefaction.
This creates free radicals which accelerate old age,
and leaves the arteries fatted up at a later stage.
.That’s why so many eating burgers in the U.S.A.
through strokes and heart attacks, just throw their lives away.

I suppose a gentleman of your advanced years must know what he is talking about - or you are just plain lucky?!?
