Toblerone

Perched up on the shelf Watching me as I go by Knowing that I can't resist Your chocolate sugar high Your triangular packaging Triggers a pavlovian response An uncontrollable craving An undeniable want Tearing off your paper foil I'm torn with indecision Knowing that the truth is You've absolutely no nutrition Too bad, the point is moot... I gulp down a hefty chunk And with a sinking feeling Know my diet plans have sunk

Thanks Deb, I'm so pleased you enjoy my warped sense of humour! I'm a born and bred Kiwi, but I do a good Kath and Kim impersonation after a few wines hahahaha :)

nicely done, julie! there was some controversy about changing the logo on toblerone recently, but i gather that the chocolate is still delicious...
