The Chocolate Debate

I'm like a box of chocolates To coin a phrase You never know what you'll get I do not come with pre selection So trial and error Would be your safest bet I could be a soft truffle Oozing with expectancy Thrilling to the tongue Or I could be the nutty crunch All explosive Now wouldn't that be fun But then there's the others The coffee creams One half bitten and cast aside The dark chocolate centre So mysterious With so much to hide Would you favour the plain chocolates? Each one Familiar to the tongue Or the never knowing selection Picking at random To see if you have won..!!

Jo, I love the way you compare yourself to a "box of chocolates." Forrest Gump's mom would be proud! Surely we must see all sides of a person before we truly know them. I really like what I see here! Love, Carolyn
