The Good Stuff


My craving for sugar's not good for my girth
And could lead to a too early grave
I'll never be known as the salt of the earth
If I sugar-ly so misbehave

"Get hold of yourself", I'm caring-ly warned
That sweet stuff is not what you need"
"With overly sweetness, you'll be early mourned
So shake off your sugary greed"

How will I do with no chocolate cake
And candies they claim are so hellish?
Will it lead to the good life if I forever forsake
All delicious desserts I so relish?

Must I listen to them, those good hearted souls
Who insist I stop eating my cream puffs?
I've never vowed to attain their girth goals
So fetch me that sweet sugared dream stuff
