Metallic on the Tongue

Oh great, am I getting ill,
AGAIN? Not that I ever seem to be
what I would refer to as well,
not mentally at least, but the
body seemed to be doing as best
as it could, little engine though
it is.

Urgh, is this because of that
weird reflux that popped up in the
middle of sleep, because I am fixing
as to the reason why the mouth
supposes it has been gnawing
on some girder or electric pylon!

Do not eat the metals! For while
they may appear appetising, and
I think we all wanted to taste
the forbidden nectar of mercury
during chemistry class,
this will not help with the
sustenance.

Even though one gram of uranium
has 19 billion calories,
and technically that would satiate
you for the rest of your life,
it just makes sense to eat food.
