(excerpted from the barista's lament by alys d. young)
the fifty-seventh woe
is that of the sugar-free chocolate syrup
for though its name causeth it to sound
virtuous in both health and flavour
still it reeketh in a manner
reminiscent of dangerous chemicals
which we would be fain to taste
neither draineth it from the jigger
but demandeth a hot-water rinse
neither - as any sugar-free syrup -
blendeth it correctly with ice
in a blender
