Sunita U.D Palawon Poet Rhyme

A Little More Sugar Please

Grandpa said, “You work hard all day 
to do to yourself some good....
what you think as priory in your pay
is a well deserved dish of good food!”

For the less fortunate; one square meal
and for the well off; another day of feast!
In diet classes: "It’s not a big deal
to decline favorites to have fat decreased!"

At home: A well garnished pizza “extra cheese”
and a generous chunk of ‘Black Forest cake’ to follow.
All to be flushed in with wine, sweet and chilled, please.
I can't help it; my stomach is an ever growing hollow!

So, "Do what I say but don't do what I do.";
Rational on duty but mad for a ‘biryani”, spicy and hot!
Strong to my audience, but weak with a pint of home brew.
"Excuse me, for the extra sugar, can’t resist my cooking pot!"

Roy Pett February 21, 2017 at 4:12 AM Totally agree with the sentiments a little of what we fancy does us good, salt and sugar make food palatable, great poem Sunita, good luck in contest, Roy. Sunita U.D Palawon February 22, 2017 at 8:13 AM Oh so sad all that looks good and taste good is forbidden for those on diet! Thanks for the visit Roy. :)

Anne-Lise Andresen February 21, 2017 at 4:03 AM - Almost no matter what we eat today, there is added sugar - A really great poem - Good luck in this contest, Sunita - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Sunita U.D Palawon February 22, 2017 at 8:10 AM That's so true. Calories everywhere. I do hope we have some genetic mutation and we burn calories x 3 even at rest! :D :D Thanks for the visit Sun :))

Andrea Dietrich February 19, 2017 at 7:27 PM This is a really fun read, Sunita. Too bad sugar is so easily gotten in most foods. It's the worst food for people to eat when they are trying to prevent cancer, but I am a lover of carbs!! Sunita U.D Palawon February 20, 2017 at 5:53 AM You're right. I'm trying low carbs these days, trying to replace white flour by wholemeal in most of my recipes. Tastes good! Thanks for the visit. Hugs :) Sunita

Gerard Quain February 18, 2017 at 12:30 PM love this poem, pity about all the people who seem to have developed a sugar phobia Sunita U.D Palawon February 18, 2017 at 9:04 PM Oh I agree, we have to eat to satisfaction and spend it as much. Then no blaming of sugar! :D Thanks for the read Gerard :)

Daniel Turner February 18, 2017 at 10:25 AM Sugar. How addictive is that? It' is in almost everything we eat. The body turns carbohydrates into sugar. Enjoyable read, Sunita:) Good luck! Sunita U.D Palawon February 18, 2017 at 9:02 PM Ya..unfortunately..this is what makes sugar so dominating! Glad you read and like. Thanks and G.Luck Daniel. :)
