“A Box Of Chocolates”

I received a box of chocolates
but when I opened up the lid.
I noticed all the ones I liked were gone!
and wondered where the other chocolates hid?

I lifted up each layer, of these tasty treats
which had fancy papers in between.
But still I didn’t find them there
Not even one chocolate, could I feast!

I asked my gift giving hubby
”Did you buy these at some discount store? ‘
”Because when I opened up my gift of chocolates, I counted only four? ‘

‘No, I bought them at the candy shop’
was my hubbies quick reply.
‘But noticed they looked all the same
so I ate one to see, just why.’

‘I never meant to eat so many
It was just a tasting test.
But if it’s any consolation to you dear
I ate all the bad ones, and I left you all the best! ‘
