Recipe For Sweetness



2 parts Destination
1 part Constellation
all parts nature

How are you so sweet? she inquired.

Born in the south
Under sign of Leo
Raised in the Midwest

It's all natural

A dose of southern Gentility (I'm a chocolate delight)
A helping of Midwestern sincerity (with sprinkles)
Some leonine Charm (it's a celestial thing)

You'll get sweetness as sweet can be

Serve it up with the golden rule (nicety is a confection)
Garnish with humility, grace and a smile (presentation is mothers milk)
Share with all who do the same (the candy of children)

These ingredients and procedures infuse this body with goodness and great cheer to spread around to anyone near

this is what makes one so sweet
it's natural
