The Naked Egg

a wonderful tool, for protein and such
to render diabetics a lower b.s.
it’s amazing, I’ve found
when included in breakfast

lower sugar abounds
it’s not always easy
to stomach the stuff
with eyes looking back

some nausea results
but forging on in
it’s a boon to my day
it can cover the sin

an accompaniment of sweets
when added precariously
to my morning of treats
so sip on my coffee

nibble peaches or ‘nana
a cookie a candy
a scarf, a bandana
okay it’s mere nonsense

from here and on out
so forgive me my
insanity, my
leaving of senses

and see how the page
aids my condenses.

(I know you're thinking, "It didn't lower it at all, but it did as b.s.=blood sugar)

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Cute, my friend ... got to tell you though, first thought upon seeing "condenses" at the bottom was Eagle Brand Condensed Milk which I dearly love stuck in the freezer (it doesn't freeze just gets VERY thick) for a couple hours or a month or however long I can stand knowing it's there --- then opening and spooning it from can to mouth!  Yummy!!

Needless to say - not often done and not necessarily the whole can eaten at once,
although . . . been imbibing since I was a kid!!

Enjoyed,

j.
