ONE LEFT.A Poem by Terry CollettONE CHOCOLATE CANDY LEFT IN A BOX, WHO IS TO HAVE IT?There was one left in the box, A large chocolate candy, the kind She liked; but what to do? Pass it Over to her to indulge and risk her Putting on that weight, she was Trying to lose or secretly, while She was looking out of the window At the birds, stuff it into your mouth And hurriedly chew and swallow? There’s one chocolate candy here In the box if you want it, you say. She turns from the window, her eyes Large green emeralds, her lips part And she says, no, you have it, I'm trying To lose that extra pound, and looks Away, her voice not at all convincing, Just a whiny drawn out, you take it, sound. © 2011 Terry Collett |
