Repost Chocolate-Trochee

Rich chocolate 'pon my thin lips.
On taste buds twang sits
Minute; lifetime on big hips.
Now clothes don't fit

To a diet must commit
Carrots celery dip
Peanut chocolate dip permit
My pants can now zip

Having bigger problem now than ever....Ha!!LOL

How sweet it is to put upon the lips. How bitter it is to work off. I can so identify with this. Great poem!

A very "sweet" poem, Sara, I enjoyed every morsel of it! I love chocolate, too, so I know how you feel. I have been there many times before! :) Great work!...Thank you for the kind comments!

Hi Sara; It's not easy to give up something you like - like chocolate cake. I myself have never been on a diet. I don't like them. Enjoy life and be happy.... Lucilla

:))))))) This is very timely excellent poem for me now that I'm committed to have diet by completely avoiding choco if possible (no diabetes just annoying fats on hips lol). This is a very delightful poem to read making me wear more smiles on my face this afternoon. Thank you so much my dear friend Sara. Have a great day! love much & biggest hugs, Leonora

Ha-ha-he-he-ha-ha....To heck with wide hips, Sara...Pig out!!...I'm working on a little tool shed myself (VERY little)...Oh waiter, I'll have a slice of cake for dessert (hold the cake please) Why is it that everything good for you tastes bad and everything bad for you taste good? Enjoyed this to the max - Tim

Haha. Thanks for the chuckle this morning, Sara. I struggle with my weight and have trouble sticking to diets, so I totally related. Fun write! :)
