Julie Draper Poet Rhyme

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

Debx Julie Draper May 10, 2023 at 10:54 PM 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 :)

Ilene Bauer May 5, 2023 at 10:57 AM nicely done, julie! there was some controversy about changing the logo on toblerone recently, but i gather that the chocolate is still delicious... Julie Draper May 5, 2023 at 2:31 PM Thanks Ilene, I appreciate your encouragement. I can confirm that the chocolate is still delicious! :)

Jan Allison May 5, 2023 at 2:46 AM ha ha ha love it - we dont buy Toblerone but a copy cat called Twin peaks - it is soooo tempting to have a huge chunk but i do try to resist but some days i have found resistance is futile lol:-) hugs Jan xx Julie Draper May 5, 2023 at 2:30 PM Thanks Jan, I'm pleased you enjoyed it :) Haha, yes, resistance is definitely futile on most days for me! thanks for taking the time to comment.
