On the out side
Decorated in delicate
Silver foil.
Reds blues, yellows
And a chicken or two.

Peel off and reveal
On the inside
All brown and
Meltingly soft
On the tongue.

Bite……….
And all will ooze
The creamy innards
Of  sugary goo.

Yummy I say….
But, look at the new
Spot on my face
And the inches added
To my hips!!!!

The Chocolate Freak

 

I don't know why I'm doing this. Declaring secrets of utter bliss. Was asked by a poet to tell him why. To reveal the potion of why I'd die. Dare I tell him it's just an egg? Or should I, on his knees have him beg? Yellow centre surrounded by white. There goes the diet, I took a bite. Into pure chocolate, sinking of teeth. Sticky mess, from my head to my feet Cadbury® Creme eggs my Easter treat. No more diet, I admit defeat. TeAnne © March 11. 2000
