Dad's Cholesterol Poem

Years ago my father wrote this poem after his doctor told him his cholesterol was too high and he was going to have to change his eating habits.  Two or three years ago he rewrote the poem while we were in Florida and was honored with a request to recite the poem to the residents of the campground where we stayed.  I liked his new version better than this one.  Unfortunately he gave his copy to a musician in the group who planned to put the poem to music.  That version is probably lost forever because the musician was a victim of Alzheimer's disease.

I went to the Doctor and the Doctor said,
  You look to be much, much overfed,
      After you pay me my overpriced dues,
          I'll tell you the foods you cannot use.
             All those fast foods you so dearly love,
                Get rid of them all with a great big shove,
                     For breakfast you can have a big bowl of mush,
                         To start your day with an enthusiastical rush.
                              Coffee you can have it only it's black
                                   NO! I'm not going to give your money back.
                                        Don't understand you must get this under control,
Your arteries are being choked with cholesterol.
    It comes from those things we all like to eat
       You must stay away from most types of meat.
            We cannot allow anything that is sweet
                 Unbuttered popcorn you can have as a treat.
                     That should take care of most of your needs,
                         If you crave a little fat?  Try sesame seeds.
                             Eat freely of vinegar, spices, bouillon and mustard.
                                 That's when I called him a name rhyming with custard.
                                      Hey, he thinks I'm a bird.
                                           Craziest thing I ever heard.
