Monotonous Longevity

The oldest living humans
Remind me of an old joke:
A guy gets a hangover
After gin and tonic, then
After vodka and tonic,
Then after scotch and tonic.
He says: must be the tonic.

One oldest soul ate three eggs
Each day, two raw. Another
Ate four thick strips of bacon.
Another, daily plum wine.
It's not eggs, wine, or bacon,
Or any other pattern:
It's the habit that's living.
