Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Chocolate Monster - For Contest

There is a chocolate monster
It’s lurking around my house
Hiding here and hiding there
He’s as quiet as a mouse

The cake and cookies soon disappear
They vanish as if by magic
It is something I mustn’t fear
My depleted cupboards look so tragic

The Haribo sweets were sadly depleted
When I opened the kitchen drawer
Only ten left in the bag, oh I feel defeated!
Oh this monster is beyond the law

But I will miss my monster for soon he will leave
Back off to university he will go
And I will be sad and my shoulders will heave
So I must simply go with the flow

In a few weeks time my sweets will remain
For my son will be oh so far away
I’ll be wishing that he were back here again
Candy will be here when he returns one day

Paul Callus September 27, 2015 at 10:35 AM I'm sure you don't mind your 'monster' going away with your sweets and chocolate, Jan, as long as he leaves you bits and pieces to nibble:) I only buy 90% or 99% cacao black chocolate and nobody touches it....they don't like the taste!! Hugs // paul Paul Callus September 27, 2015 at 11:41 AM You have a good memory Jan:) In fact a bar lasts me ages!! Jan Allison September 27, 2015 at 11:36 AM Oh I've tried that strong chocolate Paul it is an acquired taste - if I remember correctly you only have a small piece at a time and have to let it melt on your tongue :-) hugs Jan xx
