*907 Stay As Sweet As You Are (Ghazal)

Rating: 3.1


Excuse me asking - 'Does he take - Sugar? '
'Would he like on lump or two of - Sugar? '

Cornflakes? I'm afraid we're out of Sugar
The ration? Just two ounzes of Sugar.

To make the medicine go down - Sugar
To coat a very bitter pill - Sugar

A simple disaccharide - that's Sugar
Fructose and sucrose combined - that's Sugar

Man used honey before he had - Sugar
We love sweet things - so we all love Sugar

Cakes - sweets - chocolate - all contain Sugar
Cane - beet - honey - all sources of Sugar

I call my sweetest female friends - Sugar
And I call my baby daughter - Sugar

What makes the World go round and round? Sugar
What's life's most important substance? Sugar

The Earth's most prolific foodstuff - Sugar
Never underestimate sweetness - SUGAR! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
