I don’t have a drink affliction <br />Never been cursed with a smoke addiction <br />But must confess to one worse by far <br />I can’t resist a chocolate bar <br /> <br />When as a lad, my mother said <br />“You’ll be rewarded if you eat your bread” <br />So I ate my bread, and the reward I got <br />Was a delicious piece of choc-o-lot <br /> <br />So Freud was right, my mom’s to blame <br />For the choc-o-hol-ic I became <br />She’s the reason here I think <br />Why I’d die for a chocolate drink <br /> <br />Perhaps I sound too vitriolic <br />To label myself as choc-o-hol-ic <br />But if that’s my breach, I must admit-it <br />To enable me to one day quit-it<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/choco-holic/
