The Poetry Nook

In researching that last post I came across an article about salads, where the writer warned against provoking a "leptin-resistance cascade". This inspired Valerie, a reader, to create this little poem.

“Leptin-resistance cascade?”
It sounds fun … like a parade.
A gay cavalcade
Or a waltz in a glade
Or a sip of some pink lemonade -

While the traffic is stayed
Rousing airs could be played
And promises made
Cost-benefit weighed
If “pro-leptites” could only be swayed.
