Constant Craving

Curiosity concerning Careen’s covert chocolate and candy cache causes children’s cartoon crusader Charlie a calamity! Careen’s childminding cousin Charlie and carelessly closes her candy cupboard ... curious Charlie’s no cherub, and can’t curb his constant candy craving Charlie champs continually on copious chunks of candy and chocolate Chomping contentedly on chewy coffee caramels and candy canes. Charleston chews and Careen’s costly chocolate caramel crunch clusters Charlie carelessly chucks the crinkled coverings on the carpet Careen clocks Charlie chomping candy from her confectionary collection Careen’s candy and chocolate is cherished Consequently, Careen cannot condone cousin Charlie’s crafty crime ... Careen’s crotchety and cross at Charlie’s out of character conduct and contemplates contacting the cops Charlie cringes and claims clemency, claiming he can’t control his cravings... he’s a covert chocoholic connoisseur Careen can’t commiserate, calling Charlie a complete cad! Charlie’s complains his canine crown is cracked and the chewy candy’s caused cavernous cavities Calmly Careen closes and chains her candy cupboard then chuckles coldheartedly at Charlie’s candy catastrophe! Cowering on a Careen’s comfy couch, Charlie cries continually Charlie is a complete coward and can’t cope with caries caused by candy... He deplores and detests the drone of the dentist’s drill! Charlie's Cartoon Characters Curiously Careen And Crusade Poetry Contest Sponsored by Caren Krutsinger 11/18/18
