Chocolate
You’re being good and I am not.
I broke my diet and got caught.
I’d have resisted if I could,
but chocolate cake just looked so good.
I bought a piece, not a whole cake.
I thought a meal of it I’d make.
But now you feel you must rebut
my obvious need for chocolate.
Will you soon go? It’s getting late,
and there’s this chocolate on my plate.
And though I know it’s impolite,
the chances that I’ll share are slight.
Of your smug lecture I’ve had enough
and now it’s my turn to be tough.
If you must fall from your high throne
and dine on cake, go buy your own!
The prompt word today is slight.

I came home thinking that I had lost weight. But, I fell in love again with chocolate in Portugal, including ice cream, cake, cookies that I do not eat at home. They had so many little bakeries, and I just could not resist them. So, here’s to exercising.

Eating is part of the traveling experience. I guess exercising and dieting are part of the home sweet home experience! Unfortunately for me lately, that hasn’t worked.

Blessed be the weirdness of life! I lost my taste for chocolate. Sadly, i did NOT lost my taste for other sweet things, but chocolate was the killer.

Do you know what caused this? I had a friend who had a bad fall and hit her head and after that, chocolate tastes like kerosene.
