Diabetes, get rid of it please,
I’ve found out it’s not an ease.
You can’t have sweets, chocolate or custard,
I’m not sure whether I can have mustard.
It’s like a diet forever,
Will it ever be gone, ever?
I can’t help thinking it should be a dream,
It feels like I’m on the edge of a seam.
I’m falling off a cliff, that’s the way I feel,
I’d swap diabetes for 50 chores, that’ll be a deal.
Two years later on,
My worries mainly gone.
Diabetes I can’t rid,
But life continues as it did.
Diabetes doesn’t handle me,
I handle it, as you see.
Although it’s a little annoying,
My life I carry on enjoying.
Sometimes I eat sweets, chocolate and custard,
And… I don’t even like mustard!
