The perfect wrap
With the gold granny stamp
Can only mean one thing ..Its time to unwrap
I start by attacking the box with my paws
But encounter a problem, white bubbly gauze
Placed in the box by the granny with care
To prevent any damage to her chocolate heir
After an hour of popping each tiny white bubble,
I look to the chocolate as if it were trouble
And nothing lies between the candy and I
Now its time to indulge on my very first try
The first one I choose looks perfect and sweet
So I wipe the tears and begin to eat
The sprinkles above the shiny brown glaze – seems so inviting
And I start to graze
All time stood still and I started to grin
And all of the sudden my taste buds kicked in
A cherry beneath the chocolate indeed - hidden in white sauce and covered in seeds
Gold Stamp Granny pulled a fast one on me, but I still have faith in a truffle I see.
I forgave the granny from the stamp of gold
So I tried again, and how could she be so bold?
To cover beneath a chocolate disguise, crunchy stale coffee drizzled in her web of lies
Alone in the kitchen I tried again
Just my luck it tasted of crickets and *Gin
My love for this sport would not let me quit
So I saved the last one and hoped for a hit
And then the voices of angels had sung
At that very last moment of the very last one
The toffee covered in my favorite thing,
A creamy brown chocolate that made me sing
Upon the last gulp of that last piece of heaven
In walked my wife and the other wee seven
She said that the children could all have a treat
And she saw all the wrappers, and was not so sweet.
So next time gold stamp Granny appears at the doory
Let her in kindly and tell her your story
Life is similar to her nuts and chews,
That there’s only one Toffee and the others are goos.
