Had a musician mate pen me a few lines and leave them with me. I took some literary license and here\u2019s the result:<\/p>\n
The year of our Lord, two thousand and eight,
\nTom looked much closer at what we all ate.<\/p>\n
The reason for starting? Not to have fun!
\nTom learned his daughter, had good eating shun.
\nWhen served lamb stew, a candy bar she bought,
\nEating not of the good things that she ought.
\nInto his kitchen making and mixing,
\nHealthy food bars Tom\u2019s aim to be fixing.
\nIt went over well, now Tom\u2019s making lots!
\nNext to figure out the who\u2019s, where\u2019s and what\u2019s,
\nOf why a software developer can
\nMake healthier food than food makers can.
\nInto the books and blogs he did dive,
\nLearning what keeps bodies fit and alive.
\nHe researched what makes a body do well,
\nHow to stop disease from giving us hell.
\nWhat data to heed, what foods to ingest,
\nSo your mind and body, feel at their best.
\nHe learned too what makes a body feel crook,
\nThe truth was well hidden, he had to LOOK!
\nHe learned as well what makes a mind feel sad,
\nHow to change it too, so you feel real glad!
\nHe told his friends of what he had learned,
\nMary said, “Share!” So midnight oil he burned,
\nSearching and reading, penning his findings,
\nCompiling them into books – two bindings!
\nRead his two big books and you\u2019ll be most wise,
\nHe lays out the truth and tells you no lies,
\nFull of the things that DO count and matter,
\nLies told to enslave his books do shatter.<\/p>\n
