A SERIOUSLY FUNNY POEM ABOUT ADDICTION TO MENTOS CANDY MINTS
SELF HELP POEM Self help Poem: It started off with one- I was really startled by the potency I was overwhelmed by it - It seemed to disappear faster than I could afford to be without it. I wanted it to last longer,I upped it by two. That burst of euphoria traveling faster than the time it took to think it. I mean before I could mellow out and write a whole poem, I had already required three; Three in my mouth same time- melting on my tongue dispersing flavorful burst of peppermint "Mentos" it was like a big distraction -- I couldn't write for long- Not knowing if this would be the last bursting sensation I would experience for tonight. I am down to one pack. My fingers are clawing open the packaging, there is only one left deep down.- I am terrified, It's is so good, My mouth is making my brain jealous. I cram in the Last one., a poem comes - I can't concentrate. Mentos excites my attitude. I want to thank them; Them who dumps pure exotic peppermint oil into a candy that is so sooo chewy and sweet, Inducing erotic feelings and fear... Mentos I can not get enough of you, two packs down and I sit praying for the will-power not to suck another Mentos tonight. Ok the Mentos, in my mouth is almost dissolved; I am looking at the last package... I am scared

Hello Vicki, If you intended for this poem to arouse the reader, girl, you slammed it. Erotic chose of words to express "Mentos." Stay strong, keep your head to the sky. Ken
