Doctor's Warnings

half of the mango.
that is all you can eat

and you do not like
it you take the whole
mango
and swallow.

a cup of rice.
hardheaded, you
take a bowl.

no coke. you
bought a bottle
and drink it all.

no sugar. no salt.
you are determined
to have some
and some more.

take death then
the doctor says

and you say
with all dignity:

thank you.
i love it.
