Sugar !!!
Pure white and deadly,rots your teeth and gums,
Feed's the less friendly bugs in your gut and tumms.
Contributes mightily to diabetes,obesity and many diseases.
Nature tempts us to crave and consume sweet foods as it pleases.
Breast milk is sweet and the sweet taste transmits comfort and love.
Safe to take by us all ,blessed by our Creator from up above.
But in present days this sugar craving has become a liability,
There by every supermarket check-out with a tempting availability.
Will power alone will not cure your sweet sugar craving,
Switching your taste buds from sweet to green start engaging.
Our sugar-loaded environment is full of stuff so sweet,
Learn to love dark green leafy veg,a much healthier treat.

It's been a while since reading one of your poems, Hugh.
Yes, it's Kevin, pseudonymed, so my family&relatives are a little less stressed out about geopolitics!
If you wanna know more about me, Chef's Table episode with Jamie Oliver is now on Netflix! No, I'm not in it. But I was part of Fifteen Amsterdam in 2011-2012.
You're still a magnificently good poet.
