Salutes to the sweet tooths

Click and zoom in on side top pic for close up view

Nutritionist, diabetes or
dietician
All to be unheeded in my
sweet tooth's opinion.

For how can I abandon
That chocolate canyon?

And same goes for yummy
chocolate fudge
Or to a trifle could I bear
any grudge?

Ah, treacle or caramel pudding
And apple crumble needs no
bidding

The craving wishes to devour
the dessert
Few would desert a tasty jam
tart!

Don't just fondle me honey, I'm fond of cake fondant
Meringue on my sweet tongue, creamy vermicelli
All that suits my sweet tempered nature
Bear with me if the sweet terms sound redundant

Not forgetting swiss rolls and iced
cup cakes
and whatever other
sweetmeats the baker bakes.

From smoothies so delicious
To whipped cream mousse
All so creamy and scrumptious
Maybe not highly nutritious

Ah custards, ice-creams,
muffins and jellies
the only deterrent perhaps, the
fear of rounded bellies

Only if the dietician would
recommend instead
to cut down on leafy grassy
veggie salad

For if there was for it a polling
booth
I'd vote in favour of my sweet
tooth!

My sweet toot vouches for the toothsome desserts always
The sweet rich goodies and confections , treats for holidays

Hello my friend. Hope you are doing OK. You know I have a sweet tooth too. I am partial to chocolate biscuits, cheesecake, donuts and steamed puddings with custard or ice cream. I just can't help myself. I do try to be careful with the calories, but there is no way I can cut out all the stuff the dietician is telling us is killing us. Moderation is a word I like. Just reading your poem has made me want a sugar fix:)

Good to see you. Hope all is well with you and your family.

Chris

Heyy Chris, im so glad you aren't tired of my poems considering you might have read them at voicesnet but the consolation is that you might be forgetful like me as i have forgotten which poems i have read of yours in the past, for me they're always a fresh new joy to read.
Oh and how could i forget cheesecake, my fav dessert actually.
But yes moderation is key to everything. Take care and warmest thanks,

I felt hungry after I read this one. The speaker is apparently quite a gourmet, especially in the area of sweets, and I reacted to some of those named, especially the fudge. Still, restraint should be the guiding principle, unless you don't mind having a 50 inch waist.

Oh yes i totally would not like an expanded waistline so restraint has always been my motto in everything. I merely taste desserts but never eat more than a few bites . Desserts are so expensive here so that helps in controlling us too.
Yet glad the poem was appetizing enough. Thanks so much for fine comment,

Ah, all those delectable desserts! Difficult to resist them, but necessary for good health. Everything in moderation is okay though. Very cute write. Now I am craving whipped cream and cake! Lydi**
