S

A thousand and one smiles a day;
Hypnotic though ten miles away;
When near, is complete disarray;

When cold, or alone, is delicious;
If sleepy, becomes apparitious;
Is what made mankind superstitious;

Is proud, underivative fashion;
An absent narcotic, or ration;
A sticky, enveloping passion;

Potentially terminal chancer;
Unendingly tempting; a dancer;
My bittersweet flavour enhancer.
