Chocolate

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 © John W Fenn 08-05-2009
