What is it about sweets that draws us in?
Chewing and sucking until the enamel wears thin
The dentist has never been so busy filling correction
In the teeth of those in love with sugary confection.
The tasty jewels jostle for attention in the jars
From humans who will simply dissolve them for hours
You can’t get enough – they’re truly delicious
And trouble breeds on your molars delicate surfaces.
To choose which one you will buy – just a quarter
Depends on how many ways you want to be led to slaughter
This is the decision of the decade – on all this rests
Which superb, delicious sweety is going to turn out the best.
The deadliest place on earth is the old fashioned variety
Wall to wall jars of ecstatic flavours for a society
Completely besotted with the sugar cane and beet
Not getting nearly enough of foodstuffs so sweet.
As the teeth are under attack, so is the waist
We need to ween ourselves of the delightful taste
Or end up piling on the inches filled with fat
And without teeth and figure we’re left thereat.
Still, as we enter the door of delight, our fears flee away
Diets and hygiene to be contemplated another day
Is it heaven? Is it hell? Does it really matter?
Those jars of pure, nectarous ambrosia are all we are after.
