Fifteen minutes is all it will take

A healthy dinner to make

Yet here I am writing a little

When I should with veggies fiddle

Oh, somebody bring me some chocolate cake!

Fifteen minutes is all it took

To shop and not cook

I bought all the things I shouldn't

But I could not stop myself; I couldn't

Oh, Please quit giving me that look!

Fifteen minutes is all it'll take

I don't even need a break

Candy gone in no time

The chocolate cake was not a sin, but a crime

Oh, dear, I gonna have a stomach ache!

Such damage to the diet in so little time. Funny and delightful. It rolls along with at a pace and rythem that demonstrates the decision to "chocolate" yourself sick.

Well done.

Jessie Thank you very much. I just want to say that I had freshly picked carrots for dinner last nigtht. I had them cooked, and they tasted great.

I know what you mean; Name-sister
I really did have the desire, Douglas, but instead I wrote about it and made a milkshake of skimmed milk and fresh strawberrys. Yum Yum!

Cat - You are very kind

I read your comment about craving chocolate, so I hold you partly responsible ;O))))))) Monica, however I guess I too was in the need of the illusive chocolate, that we shouldn't have. LOL
