Sugar High

A peanut butter cup smooth and sly
Said, “I’m tiny, I barely apply.”
But one quiet chew
And the ceiling withdrew
Leaving you waving back at the sky

Love this .... sure hate those sly sugar treats. So good on the tongue. They are an assassin in disguise.

Peanut butter was my downfall too - It left me feeling sickly and blue - I flew up sky high - With birdies in sky - Mar and Par shook their heads with a sigh… Beryl
