Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Sugar Sham

General Mills etal know the trick
Of selling that sugary stuff -
Use the term, fruit, lay it on thick,
Keep it all just legal enough
So it passes technical test,
But lures the parents in the aisle
To think they're doing the best
For their kids, feeding fruit boxed style.
Of course the stuff is not real fruit,
Just artificial flavorings
And dyes to aid in the pursuit
Of getting dupes to buy the things.

Junk sugar food tiz what it tiz,
Masquerading that fact's big biz.
