She is not cancerous,
just a bloody pain in the ass.
She shrieks for
fiber
should
eliminate the sugar,
fried whites and browns.
Hilda needs to add green
red, orange, yellow, and
perhaps a purple
to her day.
Allowing
her to cool down,
have fewer flare-ups.
Soothed, now
by the unflappable
Hazel
a witch who
comes
expertly
recommended.
