Well, you're flirting with political correctness issues in that middle stanza, but I get it. And get a bottle of the stuff (the generic kind you recommended) . I had to stretch a little to 'get' the middle stanza, but I do now. As I said backchannel, a book of medical/health limericks, with illustrations, might be just the thing the world needs. (But what if your publisher says, 'This is a great book, but we can't publish anything so pro-cholesterol and so vehemently anti-fluoride. Fluoride is NOT responsible for all the world's problems.' You could always self-publish.) Tee-hee!
