Dying To Try It .. Or .. Trying To Diet ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 Scrumptious mounds of chocolate calling out to me. Lots and lots of chocolate I'm dying to try it, you see. Cakes, pies and goodies all appeal to me. I can't resist the stuff ! I'd can eat my weight in chocolate eclairs, I cannot get enough ! The Keebler Elf knows me by my first name. The Cookie Monster is always tempting my wit. My answer is always the same. I'm dying to try it ! Well, as fate would have it, the calories weren't withdrawn. All the sweets that were my delight are now upon my buns. I'll try to think thin. I'll try to get it right. Instead of dying to try it ... I'll be trying to diet ! ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Great poem, Marge. As my grandma used to say, "A waist is a terrible thing to mind." |

Seymour - Who'da thunk it? LostDreamer - Well, I 'fudged' a little on this one. I'm one of those people you just 'love to hate'. The 'icing on the cake' is I eat and eat and eat and never gain the weight. Denise - Well, I'll share. Hoot - I'm laughing too. Martie - Lots and lots of it. I like chocolate, dipped in chocolate. OhMe - I'm also a member of Chocolates Not So Anonymous. Nan - Let me guess ... Really Outstanding Triple Fudge Laden Marshmallow Addict's Only ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge! I'm here, to say the least, Let's begin the chocolate feast! ALmond joys, Three Musketeers, Snickers coming out our ears! Hot fudge sundae - what a hit! Chocolate on banana split! Cover raisins....peanuts, too Chocolate chips for me and you. Chocolate ice cream! I declare! Don't forget those great eclairs. Hershey's chocolate....squeeze it out Suck it from the bottle spout. Lovers also have a way To use chocolate in their love-play Chocolate adds a great sensation When one uses imagination! I love chocolate...that's my message Even on my vienna sausage! |

Balladeer - Chocolate on raisins and little marshmallows, makes for one very happy fellow. I like all the chocolate sensations you mention ... they make a fine delight. But, tell me please, Balladeer where I can get chocolate covered vienna sausage? I just can't get them here ! Between you and I ... one of us is nuts ! And I think it may be me ! ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

hehohe - I do anything for chocolate - ANYTHING! I'll have to tell you my notorious chocolate-mints-that-weren't-mine-in-someone-else's-fridge story sometime!! Love this, and like Hoot it was the title that had me laughing first. |

Marge, Chocolate mints reminds me of My son,s quick whit last Christmas eve My sister-in-law served chocolate mints In clever wrappers well conceived Religiously placed in sacred tin Each wrapper from the Bible did hint Of a simple verse of noted worth And so they are called "Test-a-Mints" Then son pipes up, if they're outdated We'll assume them to be "Old Test-a-mints!" Just thought I'd throw that in Anyway, Marge, YOU ARE A RIOT! With tales of diet Liz |

Suthern - The only way your giggles would be unprofessional is if we don't pay you for them ... here's a box of chocolates! Thanks! LostBoy - Oh, dark chocolate hugging almonds ... what a treat ! Now I've even got ME going ! Elizabeth, my friend - Loved the story set to rhyme ... what a gift you hold. In a tin of chocolate covered rhymes ... yours is so refreshing. Yummy ! A treat. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
