SWIMMING IN CHOCOLATE
I had a dream the other night
Suddenly pool began to shrink
A chocolate thief standing there
No more chocolate, not one drop
Chocolate is my favorite thing

Really gave me quite a fright
I, in a pool of chocolate swimming
Across its surface slowly skimming
What happened I couldn't think
I looked around for the cause
What I saw caused me to pause
Siphoned it to I know not where
"Stop" I shouted but he went on
Until it all had been withdrawn
Because that thief would not stop
Couldn't he leave my chocolate be
Why would anyone do this to me
Really making my heart sing
But think the thief did me a favor
Though I love that chocolate flavor
Too much chocolate isn't smart
Once it's passed through my lips
It just goes straight to my hips
