A new salad dressing I spied,
and it was one I'd never tried.
I picked the bottle off the shelf
and read the label to myself:

Calorie Free.
Sugar Free.
Fat Free.
Carbohydrate Free.
Gluten Free.
Cholesterol Free.

So I thought it was healthy, for sure.
Who could ask for anything more?

I bought it and tried it,
and there was no doubt,
when they made the label,
they left one thing out:

Flavor Free.

This makes an interesting read! Yes, when it is sugar free and fat free and free of many such things, it can be nothing but bland! Like cows eating grass we can simply gulp it down to fill our stomachs! Such a salad won't satisfy our taste buds! Your sense of humour is quite dominant here!

Ha Ha. I would have bet it had a bad flavor. Keep them coming.

Not bad, just no flavor at all. Thanks, Spock, for the comment.
