Esther’s Writing Prompt- Taste

Too soon I say, the man complained

His tolerance for sweets was strained

He just avoided the Christmas sweets

When along comes Valentine’s down the street

Chocolate was forbidden you see

No candy at all, said his Doctor, Zee

Joe couldn’t even shop in stores

All the seasons had chocolate galore

Joe decided to ask his pharmacist

Is there a pill to make me resist

The holiday candies on display

The drug counter guy said, no way

So this story is long and very sad

Finding poor Joe who had gone mad

He broke into a confection shop

Swarmed, then died from chocolate drops

He ate and ate, got very sick

But now in heaven he just says “ick“

When craving something, use my rule

Try a tiny bit and your taste is soothed.
