A box of chocolates is such a surprise
But to your diet they are great demise
There’s more than one, in fact they come in pairs
There’s even more when you go down stairs.
They tempt you with their sexy smell
The thought of their flavours is simply swell
That little voice in side your head
Will it be soft centred or toffee instead?
Let’s try the orange or the Lemon cream for starters
Stay out the second layer or she’ll have your guts for garters!
Then there’s that strawberry cream that’s sweet as a bell
Much better tasting than the Caramel Well
Oh my word,the praline square!
Should I have two or will that be unfair?
There she stands, the hazelnut whirl
Her rigid erect nut stands out like a curl
It’s desperate measures the butterscotch is last
Like two ugly sisters they won’t be gone fast
Chew off the chocolate and sling it at the dog
He’ll be on it like a leaping frog.
I look around like a cunning fox
Before I move onto the second layer of the box
I lift the plastic shelf out of the way
My hands are trembling as I throw it away
To boldly go - I quote captain Kirk
As I give the box a good old firk
Disappointment hits me like a shot in the eye
I’m so sad I think I will cry
I feel like Scott when he stood at the Antarctic
Utterly distraught and very apoplectic
To my horror, the strawberry creams been eaten
It would appear I’ve been truly beaten
Wait a minute the box is almost full
I contemplate a plan through my chocolate drool
That voice came back in a pennywise fashion
Eat them all before she comes back in
Down they slid like expensive oysters
The box was empty like a cathedral cloister
On my gosh what have I done?
I need an idea or I will be seriously undone
Quickly thinking, I staged a plan
Then it hit me like custard flan
like a galloping horse out of the fog
That naughty animal - I will blame the dog!
