Quotes from "Nation" by Terry Pratchett

Ode to Calories

Hi folks! Today I want to share with you a piece of literature that I did by myself. It was for educational purposes but I like it pretty much so I thought, why don't I share it? It's fun stuff so enjoy it!

Que pasa amigos? Hoy quiero compartir con vosotros una especie de poema/oda que hice en clase de inglés. En principio no tenía pensado colgarlo en el blog, pero como me gustó, pensé: ¿Por qué no compartirlo? Es divertido así que espero que lo disfrutéis!


Ode to Calories

Oh wonderful calories!
What kind of human being would live without you?
You maintain life, you support our lifestyle.
You are the giver of life.

However, you also can take life from us.
It's your fate, your dark destiny that everyone wants to avoid.
We are walking the tight rope taking so much intake of calories into our bodies that we are always in dire straits.

Shouldn't we take more care about ourselves?
Shouldn't we live a better life?
Shouldn't we eat properly in order to avoid such strong diseases like obesity, high-blood pressure or heart-attack?

Yes we should.
But we don't listen.
We don't pay attention to the death coming for us just like a train coming through the railway.

Stop eating.
Stop swallowing.
Prick up your ears and eat properly for once in a while!
