Sugar

It may be futile to discuss this
Perhaps even irrelevant
But may I ask you for a cup of sugar
The powdery substance
That looks like flour
Or perhaps ground corn
That gets fed to cows.
That crystalline substance
That looks like salt
It’s the perfect thing
It sweetens foods
It makes the world go round
Giving sugar highs
Making little kids sleepy
Causing cavities
Making dentists happy
It even gives people diabetes
How can it not be good?
