Mother’s Chocolate Valentine
I bought a box of chocolate hearts,
A present for my mother.
They looked so good I tasted one,
And then I tried another.
They both were so delicious
That I ate another four,
And then anothr couple,
And then half a dozen more.
I couldn’t seem to stop myself,
I nibbled on and on,
Before I knew what happened
All the chocolate hearts were gone.
I felt a little guilty,
I was stuffed down to my socks,
I ate my mother’s valentine,
I hope she likes the box!
