Sugar, Sugar––You and Me

Hey, Sugar Sugar, you’re the one for me.
I enjoy each calorie.
Smooth or frozen with chocolate on top,
washed down with a glass of pop.
Pile on the sprinkles and roll in nuts.
You’re the best, no ands or buts.
My little Sugar is smooth and dreamy.
My little Sugar chewy, creamy.

Shortbread, brownies, chocolate chip––
in my coffee, I like to dip.
But cheesecake, pie––other forms of sin––
I put on the table and dive right in.
Swim to the middle with my teeth,
see what there can be beneath
the icing or cream or chocolate sauce.
When dessert arrives, Sugar’s the boss.

Hey Sugar, Sugar, you’re the one
in snow or rain or blistering sun.
I don’t care if you’re hot or cold.
Baked Alaska is great, I’m told,
but I also like a big old cone
just piled with ice cream, all alone.
Don’t touch my Sugar, don’t you dare!!!
When it comes to Sugar, I don’t share!!!

The prompt for Linda’s Just Jot it, Jan 12, is “Chewy.”

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

              Ah…you are practicing dieting but have not mastered it! Me, too. I just don’t keep anything that tastes good in the house (like Kirkland vanilla ice cream…ahhhh and Cheetos)..and if anyone gives me anything I eat a tiny piece and send the rest home with Yolanda. May I continue to be good at least until I lose 25 more lbs.

              I am trying whole foods only and skipping the inflammatory and as well as high sugar ones. I make sourdough so I tell myself it is good for me 🙂

              My typical meal is 4 oz of roasted spaghetti squash, butter and herbs. Another way is a pound of grass fed beef in Rao’s pasta sauce Or a bag of Cole slaw mix dumped into ground turkey or chicken maybe now and then pork or grass feed beef (1 lb) cooked through stir in cabbage mix until it is to your liking. The 3rd meal is I use a air fryer and add a small say Hormel pork tenderloin in and cook for 19 to 20 min. let sit for a bit then slice off 5 oz and have with quinoa and greens or a salad toss in a small apple for more crunch. On those meals and lots of water and tea I lost 65 in 55 days.
