A Warning Poem

A poem warning us of the dangers of malnutrition. Insightful, deep, and emotional, this poem makes on e stop and think of how important it is to eat food.
The poem was performed by Jeremy Jude from EconomyFree.

AUGUSTUS was a chubby lad; Fat ruddy cheeks Augustus had: And everybody saw with joy The plump and hearty, healthy boy. He ate and drank as he was told, And never let his soup get cold. But one day, one cold winter's day, He screamed out 'Take the soup away! I won't have any soup today.'

Next day, now look, the picture shows How lank and lean Augustus grows!

Yet, though he feels so weak and ill, The naughty fellow cries out still 'Not any soup for me, I say: O take the nasty soup away! I won't have any soup today.'

The third day comes: Oh what a sin! To make himself so pale and thin Yet, when the soup is put on table, He screams, as loud as he is able, 'Not any soup for me, I say: O take the nasty soup away! I WON'T have any soup today.'

Look at him, now the fourth day's come! He scarcely weighs a sugar-plum; He's like a little bit of thread, And, on the fifth day, he was—dead!
