The days after Halloween,
Sales candy lovers’ dream…
Half-off and more
In any store,
Diabetics don’;t need these dreams!

GOOF-OFF TIME
Diabetics staying in line,
May treat themselves sometime…
What I’ve done is skip
That whole testing trip,
Concentrating on rhyme.
–
Writing poetry’s much more fun,
But needs concentration…
Time flies
I’m really surprised,
At clock hand orientation.
–
I’d better stop and check,
Or someone will be on my neck…
It’s mine to do
Responsible to,
My blood sugar regularly check.
–
Meds–don’t forget them–
Without them my life would be grim…
Insulin injected
I’m properly directed,
For eating my supper, then.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING
“TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING…”
–
He bought himself a large coffee
That lasted until ten o’clock…
He wanted to get another
But thought it wiser to stop.
–
He switched to crushed ice and water
In the same coffee jug…
A lazy rinse-out he bartered
For one less stain on the rug.
–
With coffee as a diuretic,
Needed fluids need replacing…
With him a diabetic
Treats he needed more spacing.
–
The pundits all agree
That too much of a good thing…
Dries the pockets and puts out of reach
The good life PACKED WITH ZING!

BREAK IN CHAIN
BREAK IN CHAIN*
The diabetic ran out
Of his particular kind…
Had to punt with what was available,
And that didn’t ease his mind.
–
Figuring out a dose
Takes guesswork for sure…
Trying to do what must suffice
To avoid a hospital tour.
–
A diabetic friend
He hears is cheating badly…
Another with a death wish,
Unless turned–ends sadly!
–
Payday is today,
The patient can get his swag…
He has his insulin
And his problems are in the bag.
