I have to be in the right mood

For different types of food

It is true I have a sweet tooth

I have the filling as my proof

I like to eat lots of ice cream

And with custard on the team

It does form a hot cold dessert

The sugar makes you hyper alert

I do like a nice piece of steak

But not the sort you slowly bake

I really don't like stew at all

But my family do, so they call

I do like pizza when its home made

It's not worth the price to be paid

Plus I don't like any sort of cheese

I also don't like overcooked peas

Other things I don't like are chips

Ketchup, oranges, or grapes with pips

From hot drinks like coffee or tea

I'm sorry we just don't have any

I do like chocolate of the English kind

It is addictive and does slightly bind

But I don't have it all that much

If I do, I long for its taste and touch
