The End of Temptation

It is not a dream but still surreal Double Dutch chocolate ice cream is real I toss and turn, I fight the yearn How many sit-ups does this dessert earn Sleepless night, I'm losing the fight All I need is just one creamy silky bite Why oh why did I buy that carton of chocolate sin I know I'm weak and will eventually give in No reason for alarm, no burglar doing harm Just my head in the freezer drooling on my arm As I yank out that carton of Double Dutch chocolate ice cream Did I let out a yelp and happy scream One spoon one carton and I begin Shaking with anticipation I dig in Frozen heaven delicious sin Can't stop shoving it in It is clear what must be I have to eat it all to stop it tempting me Gorge and full feeling the fool I'll pay for this hourly doing exercises to burn those calories Yet I am smiling and very fulfilled Back to bed with that craving killed I'll dream of an ocean of ice cream flavors Floating on a doughnut with my spoon to savor Each and every succulent flavor
