Sugar Beast (Attempted Humor) Poem by Sarah Sisson

Today I will stay on my diet.
Stay away from food when they fry it.

The sugar is, for me, addiction.
I crave things that have no nutrition.

I have the chance to start a new day
with a clean slate not to let go stray.

But even though my appetite now
is curbed I know when the sun goes down

I will become that ravenous beast
that turns into sugar fiend; no peace

will I have until I go south with
the diet...I'll have just a small bit.

But I know that when all that happens
My control will go to the trash bin.

So right now I make resolutions
so I can avoid restitutions.
