The Snack Not Taken
Two snacks side by side on the counter stood
And sorry I could not eat them both
But practice restraint, I knew that I should!
Alone in the kitchen, yet I understood
These late-night snacks caused my slight waistline growth...
That first snack, a favorite, those smiling Gold bears
And not the fake soft ones, yuck, they're no good!
The gummis, with an "i" are the best, I declare
But, crunchy cheese balls balance out sweetness, they would!
As for which one to pick--I want them both--if only I could...
Both brand new packages bought from Walmart today
Not even opened yet, not even spotted
I wondered which one to choose, for my midnight buffet?
The cheeseballs, that crunchy orange goodness allotted
Or the gummis, inside the gold package they plotted...
I quick make my decision with a nod and a sigh
Sometime just after midnight hence
Two yummy snacks on the counter, and I--
I ate them both, with only a little guilt, and why?
The treadmill tomorrow, shall make up the difference.
What snack foods are difficult for you to resist?

I cannot choose one favorite!
