I'm no stranger to
lies and confessions
addictions and obsessions
We all have a few
most benign and less taboo
Don't even know you need it
until you try to quit...
What about coffee
or even that new green tea?
Chocoholics aren't offered an anonymous
like the  alcoholics among us
Granted Chocolate heads are a milder lot
just like them stoners and their pot
And let's not forget
the friggin' cigarette
So here's to it
we all do it
one way or another
say you don't and you're a lying mother

This is true, we all have our addictions and obsessions.

Until someone steals from our stash! LOL

If I had to list my sins every morning, I wouldn't finish before bedtime. LOL Enjoyed this!
