My cravings flaming in a dumpster fire Ridding me of my secret heart’s desire Every chocolate bar All candies in a jar Gone so the raver in me can transpire.

Beryl, I'm seeing the fire and wondering if it would be just that simple to stop cravings. We have such a desperate society! Hope you are well and smiling!! Thanks for this very cute read!

Hi Andrea, to be honest unwanted sweets and chocolates I only have to put in our owners lounge and they are gone in a flash. Burning chocolates would be a sin, when there’s those that can’t resist it, and possibly can’t afford it… Beryl

A little treat is quite okay, just as long as you don't indulge everyday, wish you well in the contest sister Beryl. xx

Contest? Thank you brother John, I agree, a treat now and again shouldn’t do any harm, and can be a soothing balm… Sis Beryl

Hi Suzanne, the dumpster is in the yard, here in the Uk, you’re welcome to share the fire, though distance makes it a difficulty. Thank you, Beryl
