Okay, so the 1st 2 lines are not my own, but surely Mr/Ms Mars knows I'll not make money off of them and by now, are they not public domain...at least I remember what candy company/candy that are advertised. *grin*

Pulling Your Strings
Virginia Salter

Sometimes I feel like a nut
sometimes I don’t
but I nearly always feel like choc’lit
smooth and creamy
full of fat
sweet so sweet, imagine that!

Ready and waiting
to thrill you through
caffeine enhanced
for all you do!

Sometimes I’m soft,
as melted in the sun
sometimes I’m chewy
to bring more fun!

So what’s your taste?
Could you crave someone
who’d pull your strings
bring you undone?

I am sure you didn't intend this, but a package of gum typically has a string to pull. Could that be the option? The reference to chewy? I love it when my muse plays tricks on me and I see different things in the words when I re-read them. It's probably not the case here, just an observation.

I'm not the chocolate addict that so many here are, but I still got a giggle out of this! Thanks.
