Sugar, My Cure My Curse

Sugar sugar please don’t be high

But if it’s low, ill never cry

A sip of Apple or orange juice

Always lets my numbers loose

Candy cookies yummy things

Fresh French fries and onion rings

Kettle chips and puffs of cheese

Never ever fail to please

Sickly sweet and honey taste

I’ll never let it go to waste

Soda Pop drinks and punch

Always raise my sugar much

Prick a finger stick and touch

Hoping the digits won’t be much

When it’s low I feel complete

Because I get to eat and cheat

If too low an alarm will sound

Or I’ll face plant it on the ground

Too high of sugar is a goal that’s missed

And Never fails to make me pissed

Just give some space and I’ll be fine

And raise my sugar from 69

Diabetes it’s really the worst

Sugar, it’s my cure and curse

Side Dish

Peel me, I’m a potato for eternity.

Remove my skin and set me free.

Slice me and dice me.

Use all your creativity.

Just drop me and chop me.

Into a boiling seasoned sea.

Filled with oil or water and a steady heat.

Satiate the hungered with this culinary feat.

You can hook me and cook me.

With a sizzle I can feel and see.

Season me with some pepper and salt.

I taste delicious and it’s all your fault.

Portioned just right for a very hungry group.

Don’t over cook me or I transform to goop.

With heat turned down taste can’t be beat.

All my eaters are in for a yummy treat.

Place me on plate with a few of my friends.

Vegetable delight side dish is how this ends.
