Who doesn’t love chocolate? This poem talks about someone who loves chocolate confections, but bemoans the stomach ache one gets from eating too much.

Gluttonous Obsessions:

It seems there’s been a grave mistake,          

The amount of chocolate that I ate. 

For now, I fear, my stomach may

Dis’gree with what I ate today. 

My plate was piled high with sweets! 

I settled on the delicious treats.  

The chocolate that I’ve gobbled down, 

Is more than one would think I’d hound!

I could have eaten rice and beans, 

Corn and chicken, carrots, peas, 

But, whoops! I choose to feast instead  

On chocolate candies, aforesaid. 

 There was so much candy there, you see, 

And I love chocolate more than me. 

Though my stomach may fight and moan,

Plus roll just like the flu, 

I know that I will never stop – chocolate still I’ll chew!
