I’ve overdone the chocolate again and managed to put more weight on.

Chocolate is a Puzzle
Oh no! I’ve done it again!
I stood on the scales today,
And I am utterly horrified
At how much I now weigh.
It’s happened in just a few days.
However can that be?
I know I have eaten chocolate,
Which can’t help I do agree
I ate two chocolate eggs,
Which together weighed a pound.
But I have put on half a stone
And am feeling rather round.
I thought my maths was good,
But this is such a puzzle
How can one pound equal seven,
When it’s chocolate I guzzle?
If I eat a pound of apples
They might give me stomach ache,
But I will probably weigh lighter
Than when it’s chocolate I take.
A pound of salad or green veg
Will have the same effect.
Why is it scrummy chocolate
So many calories does inject?
I know there’s just one answer
I’ll have to cut down on my food,
Which is truly quite annoying
As I’m not really in the mood.
But that beach holiday is beckoning.
I just have to take control,
And forget that I love chocolate,
If I’m going to reach my goal.
