Saving the Best Till Last

All I could do was stand and stare Your actions caught me unaware I’d got it earmarked all for me To enjoy with my cup of tea I arrived in the room – my eyes grew wide The very last chocolate éclair, it was inside YOUR mouth ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MEN! 11~25~14 Contest: Green Eyed Monster Sponser: Verlena.

Had the same feeling when my husband took the last cream puff on Christmas Day. They're much smaller than eclairs. Good one, Jan, congrats on your win.
