I Think I Just Ate a Whole Cake

My goodness, did I just eat that whole cake?
Perhaps I am dreaming-pinch
Nope, I’m awake
Pepperidge Farm you are so wrong 
I didn’t realize my will power wasn’t that strong
Chocolate Fudge 3-layer deliciousness
Coating my taste buds with sweet flavors, so great
You just pull it out the box, no bake
Let it thaw, get comfy take off your bra
Grab a fork, paper towel and a plate
Seconds, turned to thirds I was in a cocoa zone
It was way too late
Quite odd, I didn’t even get a belly ache
What have I done for goodness sake
I literally ate an entire cake
Feelings of gluttonous guilt mixed with shame
Hmm, now that I look, the box is particularly small 
Maybe it wasn't my fault after all
The manufacturer's packaging to blame
That’s gonna be my story, it's what I proclaim

Ancient wisdom proclaims chocolate does a body good (second-hand, not so much for the air, though)! Aloha! Rico
