Leisure Poetry: Undeniable Temptation

Undeniable Temptation
By Jean Lee

Looking at rich, smooth chocolate
My mouth waters automatically

My left brain says,
“One won’t hurt!”

But my right brain says,
“Watch your weight!”

Same three words
But so different

The scrumptious brown substance
The addictive brown chemical

Alarm! Alarm!
The chocolate jumped on to my hand

Drop it! No, eat it!
I freeze myself

The next thing I know
I had gained one pound.
