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. Composed 15/02/2017.

Diabetes is terrible, so difficult not to eat some sugar, actually then only the craving's more, isn't it, Roy?

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!

Thank you very much Anne-Lise, If I couldn't get my daily fix of sugar I think I would certainly die though I have reduced my intake slightly, thanks again, Roy.
