"They say you are what you eat."

I have poetically upgraded that (warning: this gets gross):

.

The Human Balance Sheet

.

You are what you eat.

Minus what you excrete.

Plus what you inhale.

Minus what to exhale,

including what you wheeze,

as well as that sneeze.

Minus what you secrete, not

to forget tears, sweat, and snot.

Minus that which you pare,

By which I mean nails and hair.

Lastly, there's the thing

about shedding skin.

Did I yet mention burping?

Or worse belching?

I guess that covers it.

Wait! I forgot: vomit!
