Siren Song

This waistband is

A wee bit snug--

Forego desserts,

I guess I must.

But in the store,

A chocolate bar

Speaks to me by name.

Now, I know those jeans

Still fit;

Just remember

Mother's posture rule.

Passing by the bakery though,

A chocolate donut

Looks lonely on the shelf.

Today, I'll just wear sweats;

Get through the day

Breathing comfortably.

***********

Somehow,

A chocolate morsel

Is melting

In

My

Mouth...
