Alimentary, Dr. Watson

I sat and watched you eat for ten minutes,
Studied you thoughtfully,
Watched you chew,
Noted your intolerances
And cravings,
Which parts you wanted,
Which you eschew.
And in this microcosm you call lunch,
I was able to ascertain
Your obsessions,
(With peanut butter and jelly)
Compulsions,
(For the perfect chicken strips)
And just what it is that turns your brown eyes blue---
(Not enough French fries.)

But I'm fighting the urge to sprinkle your cupcakes with vitamins....

-Love,
Mom
