If only..... I knew which one is it!

What if....

                 there was something

                 you were eating

                 that was keeping you alive

                 but you don't know it!

I'm not talking about meds or diets,

or the fact we all have to eat.

I'm talking about something we are taking

that is prolonging our lives!

Be it, five cups of coffee,

 or three glasses of wine,

that shredded oatmeal biscuit,

and or those handful of peanuts

taken in abundance.

It could be anyone!

Of course, we'll never know

the experiment could be quite costly!

The end, so to speak!

The coroner noted that his death

was from natural causes,

but if only he had 

that extra cup of coffee.....

Yes! The coroner concluded

death was from natural causes,

but....

if he had his usual quota of wine

he would be still here today.

The dilemma from not knowing!

Which one is it!

Meanwhile,at heaven's gate

"Your arrival is rather premature!"

" Why did you forget to eat several of those shredded wholemeal biscuits?"

 " Why!"

Oh no! I'm getting chest pains!

What didn't I take?

Did I have two glasses of wine or three?

Maybe, I should have counted the peanuts!

What if.......

                    it's the avocado?

Hahaha. Pertinent questions and something to ponder. Very humorous ut with reality attached.
