Listen to poem:

Put Ah Lil' Sugar In It

finances, romances and other current events..a trilogy, burying my beloved niece what a tragedy..overwhelmed but I refuse anything pharmaceutical,what else can go wrong..um spent!
put ah lil' sugar in it.
took a part-time job to help things out fell asleep on the highway last night,heck, I was tired. you holler it will make you resilient and strong..I holler for what I'm not an athlete, I'm not ah heavyweight um about to "pull my hair out"I can't even do that cause um baldheaded.
put ah lil' sugar in it.
there are those who gloat in my diabolical predicament,
put ah lil' sugar..

we as writers seem to have a strong affinity to romanticism thus the lyrics "add ah lil' sugar" from one of Curtis mayfield tunes, coupled with some actual events-inspired this piece..enjoy.
