Mourn, Sweet and Sour, your lost charisma
‘Midst painful jaw and flushed platysma
Of etiology once inscrutable
Your syndrome now is irrefutable
(Not mushrooms, nor tetrodoxin –
No more than bagels with their lox in.)
Great havoc does your whim create
With excess sodium glutamate
Your gustation’s ginger-peachy
Though less digestible than the lichee
What allergen – some vile miasma?
I’d sooner you than bronchial asthma.
