Debbie Guzzi Poet Narrative

The Bag O Candy

There’s a bag of candy in my kitchen drawer.
It’s hidden THERE, in the candy drawer?
In the drawer THERE (point, point)
The licorice bits are in a bag.
A special bag ZIP LOCKED.
THERE (point, point) with the old refrigerator magnets.
THERE, with the unused toaster oven tray.
Refuse in a drawer, to good to discard.
Residents of the drawer hold back the tide;
hold messages from the Dali Lama.
Hold toast on a tray.
But, the dern refuse drawer’s not keeping me away!

the blue track of THE bag
	peeks out of the drawer
		
I just can’t refuse it!
I WANT SOME MORE!!!

Kat Crane May 4, 2009 at 3:02 AM LOL Very funny and so very true! I have chocolate in the 'baking' cupboard, along with flour, icing sugar and such. It's cooking chocolate which I know doesn't taste great, but I know it’s there all of the time. It whispers to me whenever I'm near, and sometimes when I'm not! I cannot tell you how many times I have eaten that darn rubbish tasting chocolate!

Michelle Mac Donald April 28, 2009 at 9:36 AM Hmmmm...I had a drawer like yours, Deborah, then I had to make it into a game of 'hide and seek'. I'm sure the kids had a Goodie Radar implanted at some time or another.:) If they couldn't find it, then it was a sure thing I'd forget where the new treasure hold was.:( I enjoyed this write, I can't stop smiling!!:) Best to you...God bless you and yours...Love, Mikki

Sharon Winter April 23, 2009 at 1:12 PM I have chocolate fudge filled Easter eggs in my freezer. Thinking I would not bother to wait to defrost when my craving hits, so, I end up eating them frozen. Never thought they would taste even better! I'm so weak, and I'm beginning not to care! Life is short. Enjoy! Love, Shar

Carrie Richards April 23, 2009 at 7:07 AM ME TOO!!!!! Temptation....calls my name...! I have found the only thing that saves me from myself, is if I throw "whatever" leftover goodies over the back fence to the cows. (I wonder if cows like licorice??)
