Refined, Entwined And Redefined

It is life near the bone where it is sweetest. - Thoreau

i'm in pain

so let me lean 'pon your candy cane

erase my heart's stain

wipe away this booger

replace it with your pure, cane sugar

boo hoo

someone help me

don't tell me to shoo

my heart's gone askew

i'm feeling a new shade of blue

a brand new, diabetic hue

help me, please give me a clue

place me first in your queue

i can't count beyond two

i can't wait for the other dropped shoe

i'm kneeling in your stained glass pew

i can't lie, so it must be true

oh how i need your superglue

i've got a fever but it's not from the flu

quickly, someone tell me what to do

this i know and this i always knew

side to side and through and through

not instead but in lieu

a million granules and a whole slew

stir me up a confectionary stew

you're the only one who turns my screw

sugar, syrup, honey, candy, molasses and desserts have nothing on you

Author's Note

"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal—that is your success." - Thoreau
