Mounting desire greets my fevered mind
as I walk down the candy aisle
each M&M, each Milky Way
gives rise to my wanton smile

Baby Ruth, Pay Day too
all beckon me to a taste
Snickers bars and Jujube’s
that settle around my waist

I pass them up for other things
like carrots and celery sticks
but hear them calling from the shelf
those Red Vines and Pixie Stix

Halloween is just around the bend
so there’s plenty of bags in the store
Candy Corn and Cracker Jacks
and Peanut Butter Cups galore

Then there will be Christmas
Candy Canes are a sweet delight
Homemade Fudge and Divinity
dance in my dreams each night

But I leave without a sweet
being good for one more day
knowing that again I’ve held
those ‘candy cravings’ at bay!

I'll have a kiss, and a mound or two
and a big tall glass of Mtn Dew
I'll have all I want to eat this day
Today and tomorrow , the same I'll weigh.

hehehehehehe... I who am 43 weigh the same as I did at 19...lol
