Sugar- A Not So Sweet Story

1. Soda
It's nothing but a mixture of sucrose and carbon dioxide
and so deceptive about the calories they provide
Though people think things go better with bubbles
and the fizz and sweetness that only doubles
it's become an incredible sensation worldwide

2. Cotton Candy
Delicious, and traditionally known as 'fairy floss'
but to our teeth, it doesn't inflict a healthy gloss
Colorful spun sugar, like the texture  of cotton
(but the side effects may prove to be rotten)
yet to our taste buds, it doesn't seem as much of a loss

3. Cereal
The production of this grain is on the rise
with types in every shape and size
We have fruit loops, flakes, pops and puffs
with cereal, people can't seem to get enough
but to indulge too often would be unwise

4. Syrup
Today what kids like us seem to rave
is the high fructose, corn syrup, viscous wave
Also known as 'Floozy of the sugar world'
which falls upon pancakes in a sticky swirl
and seems to satisfy all our breakfast craves

5. Candy
Nowadays, what seems to invade every shop,
are arrays of jellies, Twizzlers and lollipops
Despite the fact that they taste extremely yummy,
so unhealthy is each additional gummy
and each extra corn candy, snickers and gum drop

6. Cupcake
The most popular item everyone likes to bake
are the simple but scrumptious cake and cupcake
especially the ones topped with icing and butter cream
that get warm to from a slow- flowing stream
and land at its base to from a sweet lake

Though we revel in these sweets in our mist
there's a reason we find them impossible to resist
We delight at their consumption, bask in their glory
but all in all, it can't be considered as a treacly, sweet story
