Notes About The Poem

Got It Bad and It Ain't Good

I guess I'm what one would call a "Chocoholic" 
     I make trips to Wockenfuss Candies more than the average guy. 
 I wish I could only go on Valentine's Day, but I just can't help myself. 
                          I'm a life-long sweet tooth, you see.
                         Old habits die hard for a sweet tooth!

         I love me some Candy apples, not to mention, Kit Kat bars! 
               Never mind the jingle perennially stuck in my head... 
                    "Gimme a break, gimme a break, 
                    break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar!"
        Yeah, I eat more of them than I should. They're sinfully good!
           
                      But I plan on cutting down considerably
                       while I still have most of my teeth!
                    Oh, I know my wife would be much happier!
                     Seriously, I'm amazed I'm not diabetic yet
                               I'm baffled I have no cavities

                     But I know my luck will eventually run out,
                     If I don't stick to my New Year's resolution
                          to eat less candy! Enough is enough. 
                          After all these years, I can still smile 
                         without covering my mouth? Hosanna!
