226 - Sweetness

Nothing really tastes the same

Without the sweet of Aspartame

Without it things just seem quite lame

These are facts I must proclaim

I’m told my gut - it must inflame

“Don’t imbibe it” - oh the shame

Perhaps to get it out of the frame

We could give it a new name?

“Take something else” they all exclaim

Even sugar - that old flame

But that makes me fat - it’s to blame

I must get thinner - that’s the aim!
