Dave Cox Poet Rhyme

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.
