One Left.
There was one left in the box,
A large chocolate candy, the kind
She liked; but what to do? Pass it
Over to her to indulge and risk her
Putting on that weight, she was
Trying to lose or secretly, while
She was looking out of the window
At the birds, stuff it into your mouth
And hurriedly chew and swallow?
There’s one chocolate candy here
In the box if you want it, you say.
She turns from the window, her eyes
Large green emeralds, her lips part
And she says, no, you have it, I'm trying
To lose that extra pound, and looks
Away, her voice not at all convincing,
Just a whiny drawn out, you take it, sound.
