Oh, lord have mercy for the blessed Mars Bar! <br />I taste the nought and caramel in my mouth, <br />And it goes so far, <br />Just that one Mars Bar! <br /> <br />That Mars Bar can ease my troubles, <br />And leave me at peace, <br />For chocolate bars are both a blessing and a curse, <br />I can't choose which is worse, <br />Oh, heavenly Mars Bar! <br /> <br />And in the shop I look around, <br />And see other chocolate and candy bars, <br />Feeling so ravenous and famished, <br />Sometimes a galaxy bar will do, <br />But I always come back, <br />To the faithful Mars Bar! <br /> <br />The naughty ritual of the schoolgirl, <br />Pressured to diet, <br />Dreading the day she will be middle aged and fat, <br />Not to mention a housewife, <br />But times are changing, <br />Curvy is in, <br />For eating never was a sin, <br />Oh, wonderful Mars Bar! <br /> <br />I am older now, <br />But remember fondly those trips, <br />To the corner shop, <br />Feeling quietly delighted, <br />At the same time, <br />Oh, glorious Mars Bar!<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mars-bar-2/
