sour

simply sweet can be  overbearing

unrealistic and hard to handle

a touch of sour adds character

and makes it exotic

 

don't deny it i know you feel so

even salty can be boring

a touch if sour adds character 

and a lovely depth

a touch of sour adds character

enlivens the palette

it adds naughtiness

and some magic

it solves problems with your appetite

a smell of sour can surprise you

make you salivating at once

from anticipation 

to participation

it actually enhances your life

nature has a part to play 

in the myth of the sour

only a man in six months from death

cannot perceive the sour 

as touch of sour adds character

it gives you a lovely hue

a little bit of sour does not hurt

and no reason to rue
