Ode to Chocolate

A Poem by Michelle Gent

Ode to Chocolate-

Chocolate though it may be creamy delectable and sweet
My favorite pass time and treat, is Kryptonite to me
The divine encrypted bar holds power over me
Subliminal messages are sent to a helpless participant

I'm hypnotized into devouring it
Whenever that microchip is set before me
I become a drooling, spoiled lap dog
Jumping up and begging for more

I make a pig of myself sometimes only half tasting
In one gulp it's gone, inhaled, ingested
Leaving me lonely and wanting more
The taste of adrenaline transforms me into a super hero
With my super power, speed and strength

I leap through the sky before tripping on my tights
I bounce back up and ricochet several times
Before becoming a deflated balloon on the pavement

Despite this don't think about it
Don't ask me, don't you dare, If you could have a piece
Or if I'd care to share, You can call me selfish I don't care
It's clearly an indiscretion I'm aware is so very wrong
Still I can't seem to end this love affair I'm having with chocolate

Chocoholics Anonymous preposterous!
I don't have a problem!
Now excuse me I was just about to soak
In a bath of unwrapped chocolate's
