Sweet Truth
Written for Little Horsted CE School, East Sussex – poetry workshop
Just like Roald Dahl,
The best writer of stories,
I surrender too easily,
To sweet-tooth fairies:
Chocolate, oh chocolate!
Terrifying stuff,
The scary thing is..
I can’t get enough!
I don’t care ’bout wrappers,
Brand names or offers,
The chocolate inside,
is all that matters!
Chocolate, oh chocolate!
Causes tooth rot,
The truth is, the truth is,
I don’t give a jot!
Easter eggs on sale,
The day after Xmas,
Begging to be bought,
And eaten to excess!
Chocolate, oh chocolate,
A mouthful of treats,
You are so bad for me,
But still taste so sweet!
