Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Silver Balls

"Do not eat," says the F.D.A.
The silver balls on cookies found
During the Christmas holiday.
For decades they have been around.
"Not food," tiz the big gov reason,
Illegal to be sold as such.
But still consumed - tiz the season.
Consumers have not complained much.
The worst case scenario is
Turning blue gray if you would eat
A truck load of the balls - gee whiz!
Now who might be one for this feat?

Santa Claus on all of his calls
Must eat a bunch of silver balls!
