S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Poet Couplet

Salute the Sweet Tooth Eh

Nutritionist, diabetes or 
dietician
All to be unheeded in my 
sweet tooth's opinion.

For how can I abandon
That chocolate canyon?

And same goes for yummy 
chocolate fudge
Eh to a trifle could I bear 
any grudge?

Ah treacle or caramel pudding
And apple crumble needs no 
bidding

The craving wishes to devour 
the dessert
Few would desert a tasty jam 
tart!

Not forgetting swiss rolls and 
cup cakes
and whatever other 
sweetmeats the baker bakes.

Ah custards, ice-creams, 
muffins and jellies
the only deterrent perhaps, the 
fear of rounded bellies

Only if the dietician would 
recommend instead
to cut down on leafy grassy 
veggie salad

For if there was for it a polling 
booth
I'd vote in favour of my sweet 
tooth!

Seosamh De Burca July 4, 2013 at 10:10 AM A nice sense of humour throughout your poems I have read so far, all very enjoyable and some clever play on words to. Good work.

Mario De Paz June 19, 2013 at 7:16 AM This is obviously a joke whose meaning can be clearly understood and encouraged. Many times we need things we like regardless of dietists!

Andrea Dietrich June 6, 2013 at 6:19 PM Someone after my own heart here. I SO agree with THIS yummy poem. And as for the revelation in the rain, it was pure fiction. Glad you liked it.

Elai Cee June 6, 2013 at 7:18 AM hi this is pretty cool and i feel it, but one thing to be careful about the real form of ur couplet. for sure this will make extravagant and sweet to hear as a song the rhyme and the meter... hope u won't take it as discouragement u r talented! have a great day... ELAI (excited to see ur other new works)

Nette Onclaud June 6, 2013 at 5:48 AM this is calorific, terrific, and aesthetic... love the overall mood of this piece; sweetened to perfection... i have a sugary tooth too, S... grreat stuff!..:) huggs
