The Chocolate Debate

I'm like a box of chocolates
To coin a phrase
You never know what you'll get

I do not come with pre selection
So trial and error
Would be your safest bet

I could be a soft truffle
Oozing with expectancy
Thrilling to the tongue


Or I could be the nutty crunch
All explosive 
Now wouldn't that be fun


But then there's the others
The coffee creams
One half bitten and cast aside


The dark chocolate centre
So mysterious
With so much to hide

Would you favour the plain chocolates?
Each one 
Familiar to the tongue

Or the never knowing selection
Picking at random
To see if you have won..!!
