You're in the supermarket and you're shopping for two, Like you always used to 'cept there's now only you. A valentine each year was his one sugar treat, But now they claim the fat that got him, tout de suite, Was bad trans fat. You'd never heard a word about it, Had no warning you'd be mourning, Till too late to save your mate From bad trans fat. Did Junior fail to warn you in his radio chat To read labels? Could it be as simple as that? For now he's capping torts and loving leaving you flat. Although that pretzel only partly choked the dingbat, If bad trans fat Were used in Valentine's Day pretzels, He could go the way of Edsels, As Bushies send him fare-thee-wells Of bad trans fat. * The New York Times - 2/13/05 "America's Oil Change - Losing Trans Fat"
