Prostaglandins are to hormones
As oxygen to the lungs
Generated or destroyed
By taste buds on a tongue.

The foods we choose to nourish us
May not nourish us at all
But rather, destroy chances
Of a very old age fall.

Nightshade plants need watching
As havoc they can bring
To joints we hold as crucial
In doing anything.

Tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants
Are three to name a few
Commonly found in diets
Parmasianed, or in a stew.

The absent prostaglandins
Brings arthur home to us
Arthritis is his full name
It’s our choices we need cuss.
