Sonia Walker Poet Rhyme

Low Blood Sugar Blues

In the middle of the night,
the hunger pangs attack,
I am shaking like a leaf
as I get out of bed with grief.

I have the low blood sugar blues.

Trying to find my slippers is a chore
as toes are stubbed and in pain,
stumble to the kitchen for the fridge,
finally made to the stainless food bridge.

I have the low blood sugar blues.

Opening the door is not fast enough,
sleepy eyes squint to find anything edible,
a can of leftover something stares at me,
it smells like ravioli as I grab with glee.

I have the low blood sugar blues.

Found a spoon and ate out of the can,
satiated and sleepy I walked back to the bed,
my tummy grumbled all night long,
it was singing a satisfied and happy song.

I have the low blood sugar blues.

Hubby was looking for Fido's breakfast,
an open can of dog food given as a treat,
nowhere to be found among the cold goodies,
my stomach was ready to throw up cookies.

I have the low blood sugar blues.
