Gump's Chocolates

Forrest Gump once said, "Life is like a box of chocolates, You never know what 'ch ya gonna git inside." Well, he's right in most ways. If you pick up a good looking piece, You don't know it's bad tasting until you bite into it. When they taste so delicious, you keep on eating, Not thinking about a belly ache until it hits you full blast. Maybe you can try one and find you'll have a new favorite flavor, Forest Gump knew what he was talking about, Life IS like a box of chocolates. You make a decision or two, Thinking it is good, until you regret it. You do something you know you shouldn't, But don't think anything much about it until later. You try something new and strange, Or you try something new but familiar, You like it and continue doing whatever it may be. Life is full of decisions, Each to a consequence, Or leading to a reward. But you'll never know which it will be, Until you choose which to taste first.
