Inertia

Oh, it is a bitter pill to swallow;
Much easier to whine and to wallow.
About fate and luck.
Ever the lame duck.
Where inaction is, consequence must follow.

The flipside of eating beetroots

"Eat more beetroots", the Doctor said
Luckily, they're not something I dread.
The only price I pay:
If I eat it today,
Tomorrow my, uh, output, is Red.
