William Hancock Poet Rhyme

Easter Thoughts 3

 Easter Thoughts 3

Easter's come and Easter's gone - My Jaws and Stomach's sore
And the word or sight of Chocolate - Doesn't excite me any more

Your  eye's are bigger than your stomach - or so the saying goes
My shorts no longer fit me - and I cannot see my toes

Twenty types of Chocolate - And forty different brands
to lounge and pick-from amongst their midst
Does make you feel quite grand

The Poor, The Weak, The Lonely - The Sick and Elderly 
Five class of Humankind I know - whose lives are Chocolate free

The time might come, when I might add - the Wonka to my name
Strawberry creams and Turkish delights - bring fortune and more fame 

I've had my fill, I've had suffice - no bloody more for me
I'll take a rest, build up my strength - and get ready for the Xmas tree
