There once was a woman called Nan Who tempted with sweet-smelling jam. She had a huge pot, But she rationed the lot And fed us on cheap cuts of ham. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-28037415

I guess you're wondering why I posted this one here and not in "Poems from the Light Side"...
Well, this may be a limerick, but to be honest, that's just the way it came out when I wrote it. I intended it to be a bit of a rant, not just about the sugar tax here in the UK, but about the whole Nanny State in general. I mean, do we really need to be told what to do, what to look like and even what to think? Of course we don't!
We managed very well without a Nanny State years ago and I don't see why we need one now. I suppose they'll be telling us what colour shoes to wear on our days off next. Can you just imagine it?"SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT BLUE SHOES ARE BAD FOR YOUR FEET..."Personally, I don't care. I'll wear whatever colour shoes I want! Come to think of it, I'll do what I want and say what I want too! To hell with the Nanny State!
