A nutrient somewhat metallic
essential to a certain gland,
promotes all body matters phallic
it saturates the tissues and
feeds skin and bones and bosom buddies
as well as brains and all your nails,
just look at any fuddy-duddies
they usually are aging males.
A little known but salient fact
is that there is a potent link,
the end of any G I Tract
is where the vapours come that stink.
This, mitigated and abetted
by what we may ingest each day
in ledgers and online gazetted
I’ll let you guess but will not say
except that oysters do provide,
that Casanova did devour
the ones swept in by morning tide,
all on the half-shell by the hour.
A warning if you overdo,
you will suppress your copper quick,
this causes symptoms of the flu
and soon you’d be extremely sick.
Blood cells depend on many factors
both minerals and vitamins,
like overpaid upmarket actors
on vegemite and Mickey Finns.
