Temptation

Temptation

Remember the Christmas chocolates,
Twice the size and came in a tin.
Now they’re sold in plastic
In every supermarket, just as you walk in.

They’re piled up high, on special offer
So yesterday, I finally succumb
Should have listened to my head not my stomach
Once again the chocolate has won.

I put them on top of the wardrobe,
Thinking out of sight, maybe out of mind
But all the time I can hear them shouting
Get me down, if you would be so kind.

They are the first thing I see in the morning,
And the last thing I see at night
Dreams of bathing in chocolate
In dark milk chocolate or white.

I know that they won’t last till Christmas
Why? because I’ve just opened them now
I can always pick up another one
No one would know anyhow.

Well I need the container for the kitchen
To put in, the freshly baked caKes
I need one for my pegs in the garden
To eat them all, how long would this take.

Of course, I’m going to share them
Shame no one is here right now
But I do get the choice of my favourites
Bet this will cause a bit of a row.

Instead, should have bought a chocolate orange
The one you tap and unwrap and don’t share
To buy chocolates and save them till Christmas
I would say is extremely rare.
