Diabetes Information

I always thought the real stuff tasted better than the dietetic anyway. I
was told in 1950 that most of the time the dietetic stuff was a waste of
money, didn’t taste good, slow mover on shelves, and more expensive. Work
the real stuff into the diet plan if it’s necessary. I wrote the following
poem 1/97
.
GOOD HUMOR
They say, “Don’t spend a coupon
for a product you don’t use”;
but that’s the way new items
are discovered — we can choose.
I had “cents off” for popsicles,
the kind that’s sugar free;
I doubled it, a year ago,
and go them just for me.

I soon forgot about them,
then my hugsband had a treat;
it looked so good I tasted it,
but sugar I can’t eat.
Remembering I had some, too,
I went to get my own;
Oh, horrors! he was eating mine –
how I did moan and groan.
A pill that I am taking
makes my mouth feel very dry,
“Use ice chips to recover,
and that will satisfy.”
Use ice chips? Oh, I think not,
with the ‘cicles so tas-tee;
I purchase weekly boxes now
just to “Good Humor” me.
