I received a box of chocolates <br />but when I opened up the lid. <br />I noticed all the ones I liked were gone! <br />and wondered where the other chocolates hid? <br /> <br />I lifted up each layer, of these tasty treats <br />which had fancy papers in between. <br />But still I didn't find them there <br />Not even one chocolate, could I feast! <br /> <br />I asked my gift giving hubby <br />''Did you buy these at some discount store? ' <br />''Because when I opened up my gift of chocolates, I counted only four? ' <br /> <br />'No, I bought them at the candy shop' <br />was my hubbies quick reply. <br />'But noticed they looked all the same <br />so I ate one to see, just why.' <br /> <br />'I never meant to eat so many <br />It was just a tasting test. <br />But if it's any consolation to you dear <br />I ate all the bad ones, and I left you all the best!
