Eat it from the floor

According to the myth,

Food is okay to eat,

If it falls on the floor,

And is lifted up in five seconds.

Would you risk eating,

Something that fell on a dirty floor?

Or return to have seconds.

So, regardless of the floors,

Pick it up and eat it,

The five-second rule goes.

A burger slipped and it fell,

On the swampy forest floor.

It was only there for five seconds.

So, he picked up the mossy burger,

And consumed it without thinking twice.

So, regardless of the floors,

Pick it up and eat it,

The five-second rule goes.

A bowl of fruit spilled,

On to the brown sand.

It was only there for five seconds.

So, she scooped up the fallen berries,

And consumed them without thinking twice.

So, regardless of the floors,

Pick it up and eat it,

The five-second rule goes.

A pack of country fried chicken,

Fell onto the wet slippery road.

The drumsticks were there for five seconds.

So, he picked them up swiftly,

And ate them all and licked his lips,

Without thinking twice or thrice.

So, regardless of the floors,

Pick it up and eat it,

The five-second rule goes.
