HEALTH SALAD

CHEZ SILVER SAGE RETREAT WAS A YOUNG MAN
WHO CAME TO DISCUSS WHAT HE CALLED A PLAN
FOR A DELI WITHOUT A NAME OR TOOTSIE AZAN
AND WAS IN SEARCH OF A MARKETING FAN

THRILLED THAT HE HAD CHOSEN ME HELENE
BECAUSE OF MY PAST TO HELP HIM OPEN
THE WORLD TO HIS NEW LIGHT DELICATESSEN
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE DISHES TO BE EATEN

WELL I STARTED TO STUDY HIS GOURMET STYLE
IT ONLY TOOK ME SOME THINKING FOR A WHILE
I PRAYED AND CAME UP WITH A NAME SO SERVILE
THAT’S ALL I COULD DO TO MAKE IT WORTHWHILE

HE’S WAS SO HANDSOME, SLIM AND BEAUTIFUL
I THOUGHT HIS DELI COULD BE WONDERFUL
WITH AN ATTRACTION TO BE EASILY MARKETABLE
“TOOTSIE-FRUITSIE-VEGGIE DELI” WAS TASTEFUL.

T’WAS EASY TO CREATE THIS NAME FOR SOMEONE WHO LOOKED LIKE ROCH!
