Cheer Up, Friend!!!

FOR TASTE BUDS' EARS ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheer Up, Friend!!!
Do you know these friendly five?
On these five, our foods thrive!
Sweet and sour are loved by most.
Salt and spice tastes the best.
Poor bitter is disliked by all!
Sad friend’s head does fall!
What are the best friends for?
To cheer it, come all the four!!
You are a healer, they say.
You make the doctor’s day!
All his prescriptions have you.
Pills without you are very few!
To chew you well, none dare to?
It is out of force, even if they do?!
Spice and sour in excess pain gall and liver.
We too hurt blood say salt and sugar.
Out of five, you are cause for no ailment.
Being inside medicines, you are a treatment!
Dear friends, do not flatter me so much.
I am alive because of suffering’s pinch!!
With your love and support, I will survive.
Not having you around me, how can I live???
