MY SUGAR

You are my sweetest poison

You are my favourite notion

Of sweetness so adoring

And of all my darlings’ so boring

I need you every morning

Along with the caffeine

to clear my head

I need you before going to bed

for you are here to stay

I use you every which way

Oh, my sugar!

I use you everyday

I use you in my diet

I use in my dessert

You are not so light

But we are rather tight

And though you kill me sweetly

I cannot avoid you quietly

I would rather kill

the people who introduced you

than make you pay the bill

you are just one of my special few

Oh my sweetest sugar

For me wellness you don’t augur
