Chocolat'

Chocolate’s a drug, but it’s legal

It wont get you on charges in court

You can buy it on any street corner

There is no other drug of this sort

Its power is quite meteoric

As its essence goes straight to the brain

The feeling you get is euphoric

You can do it again and again

Each bar that you eat feeds the urges

But once it has passed by your lips

As into your brain chocolate surges

A little will stick to your hips

Your beam will get wider and wider

You will start to stand out in a crowd

They will know you’re addicted to chocolate

There is no need to say it out loud

And as the addiction gets stronger

You’ll eat chocolate with every course

You won’t have friends any longer

You will find yourself wracked with remorse

As your rear end continues expanding

And your energy levels get low

You will find exercise more demanding

When you’ve only one speed, and that’s slow

Luckily there’s a solution

It’ll get you up off of your back

Just make it your new resolution

To get an addiction to crack

Ian, My wife keeps on about

Ian, My wife keeps on about losing weight, one night on TV there was a programme about drug addicts and they all looked a bit undernourished, I suggested to her that taking some illegal substances would solve her dieting problems, unfortunately her reply was not what you would expect from a lady. Thanks for reading John

Crack?!

How foul would THAT be? On the plus side, at least you'd lose all the weight you gained with the chocolate. Amusing write, but unfortunately can't really relate, as for some reason I never get that euphoric feeling off of chocolate. Guess I'm broken.... ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "Atheism is a non-prophet organization" - George Carlin -"Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things" - George Carlin

lol

Very cute poem Shazbat! I can relate to chocolate! I do like it. But, try to keep it in moderation. Too much of a good thing can be bad as you so amply and well denote in your poem! Crack=bad too! lol I always enjoy your poems, they usually have humor (maybe one or two serious ones?) always something we can relate to. Except Jess here.. Jess, maybe he could have written about ice cream? lol Nice write! Always, Tonya

Thanks Tonya, I suppose

Thanks Tonya, I suppose anything that makes you feel good can be addictive,so its best to stick to the least harmful stuff like chocolate and ice cream. John
