Pillsbury Bran Muffins
Language: English 
-- and then her doctor told her;
For some time she had not been herself...
She was run-down, languid, 
Tired each day before her work began.

One day she called on her doctor;
He advised to eat bran muffins,
made according to Pillsbury's recipe.
Pillsbury's marvelous natural laxative.

He knew the underlying cause of her trouble;
It was a result of faulty elimination.
He also knew she would enjoy the bran muffins.
The bran muffins -- there is health and delight in every bite!
And thus her doctor told her. --
