The thought of that sugar sweet taste,

The thought of all that yummy chocolate;

A foodies dream to our taste buds,

Resisting would be futile,

But taste it,

I must.

I believe this is a sugar rush hour,

When food has power,

Or could this be some mad sugar rush

hour?

Temptation is dangerous,

I will not taste,

I won't pick it up in haste.

I don't want that cake!

Do I?

Don't I?

Their all telling me to eat my veg,

But that would be like eating a hedge.

Forget what my body is telling me for

just one day,

It's not going to send my body crazy.

Do I?

Don't I?

Ah;

Those damn questions!

I don't want that cake,

I do,

Really.

Screw this,

I'll eat it anyway!
