Sonnets from Suburbia: Sugar
Lady Penelope laments an acquaintance’s sugar addiction but banning sugar entirely does not suit. The answer is in her latest sonnet… “Sugar”. And don’t forget to order a copy of Penny Peyser’s (Lady Penelope) brilliant newly released book, “Sonnets from Suburbia: More Candles Than Cake”.
Sugar
She gave up sweets so instantly grew bitter.
Somehow became impossible to smile,
when none around her was a sugar-quitter.
Not ordering dessert did cramp her style.
Not Sweet ‘n Low nor Equal could suffice,
and merely mentioning Stevia lit her rage.
No longer was this girl sugar and spice.
Without her treats she could not act her age.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked her nutritionist,
the villain who’d insisted on this path.
“You ought to know, you sugar-abolitionist!”
“I’ve started smoking to incur your wrath!”
While high blood sugar isn’t recommended,
For mankind’s good her diet was suspended.
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
