A last-minute attempt
I absolutely swore I'd give up Flakes,
and Mars bars, Twix, Maltesers, Chocolate Buttons -
but when I'm at the checkout all it takes
is seeing that array. Like many gluttons
I'm weak and my resistance goes to pot,
without the slightest waver on my part.
I said I'd give up chocolate. I have not.
(To tell the truth, I didn't even start !)
Oh, I regret my lack of will-power now.
My Resolution was a waste of time.
I've let myself down very badly. How
could I have been so spineless? It's a crime
allowing 'want' to turn to desperate 'need'.
Succumbing to temptation is the Devil's
work; he loves us to resort to greed.
... It's ages since I bought a bag of Revels...
