Roy Pett Poet Couplet

Just a Little Bit of Sugar

All of my life I've had a sweet tooth,
Not got many left to tell you the truth,

Over the years I have increased in Weight,
Surely its not due to the sugar I've ate,

For some reason I'm feeling ill,
My doctor puts me on a diabetic pill,

Told that I must eat food with less sugar,
No chance I'm a stubborn old bugger,

To give up food that is not sweet,
My life would not be complete,

In my opinion I'm not overweight,
Told a terrible illness is my fate,

Seems my bodies given up on me,
I love sugar so what will be will be.

Please don't believe that I'm right,
Just because We find sugar a delight,
Look after yourself and loved ones,
Life should be a pleasure not a fight.

Daniel Turner February 16, 2017 at 10:39 AM I traded in my sweet tooth for a whole new set of sweet teeth. I take 'em out and brush 'em then go right back to the candy:) You can't rot plastic teeth with sugar:) Fun poem, Roy!
