Confections Of My Demise

A silly poem about a nigh mare I had once

Cylinder chocolate swelling in my throat,

Lusciously sweet confections will be my demise.

Gasping and gagging, tears raining down,

Thrashing and pleading for unpolluted air.

Eyes open wide from pressure upon my chest

Kingsley licks my face, butting me with his head

Breathing so effortless, it all becomes clear

The tootsie roll monster has visited me again

Note to myself:

No snacks before bed!

Amusing little write, I can't recall ever having a nightmare about Tootsie Rolls myself.

[Briana O'Connor]

probably because you follow the rule of not eating before bed :P

[Sindu]

Oh great.. that was fun. Haha sounds good to me. No chocolate before bed... Cool nightmare
uhh i just ate a whole bar of chocolate..... -_-

[Briana O'Connor]

maybe this nightmare is the reason why they say not to eat 4 or less hours before bed :P

[Ashira Macy]

Haha yeah it is no fun when food tries to kill you in your sleep... or just in general. It does sound like a sugar induced dream for sure.

[Briana O'Connor]

lol no more candy before bed for me

[Steve L.]

Hilarious!! Death by candy!! Not a bad way to go, I guess :)

[Briana O'Connor]

Lol I can think of worse ways to die

[Tricia Pattinson]

Clever and well done! Loved it!

[Briana O'Connor]

Thank you :D

[ImSJ]

Here's my 2 cents: Chocolate milk is safer!

[Briana O'Connor]

LMAO!! Now that is great! I will have to remember that, however unless I buy a fridge to put in my room, I don't think it will be safe to keep chocolate milk by my bed :-/

[MomzillaNC]

LOL! Well, you won't eat in bed again, will ya!

[Briana O'Connor]

Nope definitely not lol

[Rana]

Haha, well this has got a sweet childishness about it (pun unintended), and I like the way this is as short and overwhelming as the nightmares get jsut before one wakes up..

[Briana O'Connor]

Lol thank you :D

[R Smith]

you really have to stop eating in bed Briana, can lead to all kinds of problems, lucky Kingsley was around to call you back from the edge of the black hole that is chocolate abuse!! Good poem though, gives us a chance to learn from your mistakes lol

[Briana O'Connor]

Lmao you seem to have found someone to pick on! Should I feel special?

[R Smith]

of course, highly privileged :)

[Briana O'Connor]

Yay I'm special :D lol

[Baby Ricochet]

I don't ever recall tootsie rolls looking that good. If they did I'd never stop eating them

[Briana O'Connor]

Lol you just weren't looking close enough :D
