The chocolate is calling
I’ve covered up my ears
I feel the salivation
And I try to call my peers

I know I should  not want it
And to eat it would be dumb
But it calls to me from the other room
Beckoning, calling me to come

I try to eat a carrot
I try to eat a pear
It doesn’t quench my cravings
And my longing is still there

Sweet, juicy, dribbling down my chin
Maybe celery will do it
I lick my lips, anticipating
Maybe just a little bit

A corner, maybe a quarter
Of the bar is not so bad
Ok, just a small bite more
Half the bar I have now had

Before I know it, I am done
There is nothing left to eat
There is nothing in this world
That chocolate can not beat

So now I sit with guilt in tow
Wondering how to stop the call
Loving chocolate is not so bad
Think I’ll get some at the mall
