New Year Countdown Poem 2022: 29. Have the Chocolates Lasted


Have you beaten temptation,
Or has it gotten the better of you.
Have you saved any for later,
Or snaffled it in one sitting.
Will there be any for New Year,
Or just wrappers left behind.
Have you managed your hands,
Or could you not keep them off.
Are you saying "Just one more",
It's Christmas after all,
Or are you saving some for later,
Once you've eaten all from the family bowl.
