Taste is something we all know,
With our tongues, we give it a go,
We taste with every single bite,
Some make us smile, some don't feel right.

Sour is a flavor that makes us pucker,
Like lemons, limes, and vinegar,
It's a taste that's sharp and tangy,
But some like it in their candy.

Bitter is a flavor that's hard to love,
Like dark chocolate or veggies above,
It's a taste that's strong and intense,
But some love it as a preference.

Salty is a flavor that's easy to find,
Like chips, popcorn, or french fries combined,
It's a taste that's savoury and bold,
But too much of it can make us feel old.

Sweet is a flavor that we all adore,
Like candies, fruits, and desserts galore,
It's a taste that's sugary and nice,
But too much of it isn't always wise.

So, try all the tastes and have some fun,
With sour, bitter, salty, and sweet, one by one,
Discover what you like and what you don't,
And have a tongue that's happy and won't ever haunt.
