Junk Food Junkie

I'm feeling awfully restless

As I pace across the floor.

I had a snack an hour ago

But now I'm craving more.

 

I want something sweet, gooey and good 

But I hate to go out in the cold,

Bundle up, drive to the grocery store..

Yet my yearning just won't be consoled.

 

So I sit back down in my easy chair,

Turn on the TV, boot up the computer...

Maybe I just need a little distraction

So I won't be a kitchen looter.

 

No, I really need  some chocolate

Though cookies or chips might do.

There's no ice cream in the freezer

What am I going do?

 

There's lots of food in the pantry,

but nothing fulfills my need.

The craving keeps growing within me

I must feed my yearnings greed.

 

Ah. the answer is clear - I've remembered!

Last week I bought Hershey's Kisses.

I hid them away in my lingerie drawer

Ha!  My craving shall now get its wishes!

Very cute. Its ironic that you posted this today and most people are trying to eat less now.

A great humorous response to the prompt... one we can all relate to, especially this time of the year.

Let me see!! Today! 1st January 2011. G.K. Bostic's New Years Resolution to avoid junk food and snacking has collapsed within 24 hours! Just carry on munching G.K. Composing delightful poetry like this will soon burn those excess pounds from the hips.
