A Box Of Chocolates Poem by Sana Olivia Hernandez

If life's like a box of chocolates,
Than what is it you've got?
Delicious candy to eat?
Or maybe you'd rather not...
Well, it's rude not to accept a gift...
So let's see what we've got.

Mmm, a sticky chocolate caramel.
To share with someone sweet?
But again they want to meet,
And the caramel sticks to my teeth...

Now then!
What's say we try again?
Ooh, a peanut butter one!
To share with a nice friend?
But now they want to know my sum...
And the peanut butter's stuck to my gums.

Hmm, a raspberry one.
Perhaps a luscious lover?
Hmpf, they were no different from the others...
Though they had a nice cover.

Huh, vanilla.
Not my favorite.
Though my mood brightens,
As I savour it.

YUM! A coconut one!
Perhaps some fun out in the sun?
Ouch! Sunburn!
I should have worn a coat.
And now the coconut's,
Stuck in my throat...

*Cough*
Ugh, dark chocolate.
Perhaps a cozy, rainy day?
Of course; another bad chocolate,
And no where to stay.

If life's like a box of chocolates,
Than what have you got?
I, occasionally,
Would like to get what I want.

*Groan*
Here we go again..
Here's one with some nuts.
I crunch down the chocolate.
And go with my gut.

So here's what I got:
A sweet man,
With caramel skin.
A friend who's lotto ticket wins.
A quick escape,
From a raspberry sin.

And clean, healthy skin,
From dark chocolate and rain.
My box was good,
But the chocolate was a pain...
