Something Sweet

Something Sweet I want something sweet Pestered by my brain It’s like a recurring tweet I am trying to refrain Something sticky like toffee A gooey dessert of delight To eat with a cup of coffee Resisting with all my might A chocolate bar or wafer To ease my craving buds Apple would be much safer But it tastes like fairy suds I am waiting for 4 o’clock The Sunday shops stop calling My will as solid as a rock My glucose level’s falling The pride of not succumbing A passing of this test I should be very happy yet, My brain’s becoming a pest.
