SPINNING SUGAR, CAUSING CARIES

Yes, my words taste very sweet.
But Sugar leads to cavities,
Causing teeth to ache and scream
When you read the Verbal Treats
I’ve written just for You to Eat.

I find myself considering:
Is this burst of Poetry
[Perhaps Poetic Dentistry?]
Cloying heavy-handedly,
Causing pain and overload
From Gifts I write for you to Read?

I’ll stop, but only Temporarily;
I’ll Do MY part, but
Brush YOUR teeth!
[I’m Asking Triple “Pretty Please!”]
