I'm waiting for my mother I twiddle my thumbs idlly I'm trying to look away from The chocolate bar that's staring at me "Look at me!" It whispers softly I'm struggling to avert my eyes "You'll feel better when you eat me" it says With an effort, I ignore its lies I walk around the chocolate shop Like a predator circling it's prey This temptation is just too great! My feet can't seem to walk away "Eat me! Eat me!" The chocolate chants Someone save me from this torture!   "Don't leave me all alone" it says I can't take this anymore Suddenly, my phone rings My mother has finally arrived! I turn my my back on the chocolate My face glows with pride I didn't succumb to my desire I did it! I resisted! I held on, I stayed strong Even when the chocolate insisted I smile as I reach the car I'll tell my mother about my ordeal I think of how proud she'll be And of how happy I will feel But before I utter a single word, She hands a packet, beaming wide She says "look what I got for you!" I can't wait to see what's inside! A prize for resisting temptation? Oooh! What could it be? I open the packet and look inside And a big fat chocolate stares back at me!

Temptation
I'm waiting for my mother I twiddle my thumbs idlly I'm trying to look away from The chocolate bar that's staring at me "Look at me!" It whispers softly I'm struggling to avert my eyes "You'll feel better when you eat me" it says With an effort, I ignore its lies I walk around the chocolate shop Like a predator circling it's prey This temptation is just too great! My feet can't seem to walk away "Eat me! Eat me!" The chocolate chants Someone save me from this torture!   "Don't leave me all alone" it says I can't take this anymore Suddenly, my phone rings My mother has finally arrived! I turn my my back on the chocolate My face glows with pride I didn't succumb to my desire I did it! I resisted! I held on, I stayed strong Even when the chocolate insisted I smile as I reach the car I'll tell my mother about my ordeal I think of how proud she'll be And of how happy I will feel But before I utter a single word, She hands a packet, beaming wide She says "look what I got for you!" I can't wait to see what's inside! A prize for resisting temptation? Oooh! What could it be? I open the packet and look inside And a big fat chocolate stares back at me!
