CAN'T DO IT

It’s all too hard

Can’t do it.

Such a bad day -

I knew it.

I need help

To get through it.

I’m not afraid –

I can do it.

But -

Perhaps just one -

I’ll chew it.

Chocolates all gone.

I blew it.

oh, dear, sounds like sweeties are not the answer, but can do a litte cheering up for you.

Ver neatly written, Linda. Rhiannon

This is so much fun, but tells such a story of good intentions where temptation is concerned, especially of the sweet variety. 'I'll chew it' was the funniest, for me. One good thing to know is that trying (very hard) to resist for 30 minutes uses at least 700 - 900 calories. Hope this helps. 

Delightful poem, Linda. I enjoyed it more than chocolate... Maybe?

Thanks for reading and commenting Celticman, Rhiannon and Bee, and apologies for such a late response.  It's just been my Birthday as well as Mothers Day, so the chocs are taking another bashing!
