Kyrielle for the Sweet Life

Sugar! I want sugar!

Kyrielle for the Sweet Life

When coffee black is what I dread,
When all my sugar lumps have fled,
This trembling message do I bleat:
Lord, grant me please a life that's sweet.

Sucrose, fructose, splenda, honey,
I'll take them all for any money,
My gold I'd trade in one heartbeat -
Lord, grant me please a life that's sweet.

Corn syrup candies I've oft inhaled,
Before my weight was over-scaled,
And now I face lean things to eat...
Lord, grant me please a life that's sweet.

Fat free I'll eat without complaint,
I'll serve up carbs with much restraint,
But when my tongue yet craves a treat,
Lord, grant me please a life that's sweet.

Brown rice syrup and xylitol,
Even agave, I want it all -
Midst vegetables I do repeat...
Lord, grant me please a life that's sweet.
