CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
By Jaymee Morgan


You sit there working

I lie here reading

I get bored
And begin to watch you eat strawberries
Fresh off the vine

I’m munching a king size Hershey bar

Bookey you’re so healthy
Why can’t I be more like you

You say
Oh hush Baby
You know I don’t always eat like this

I roll my eyes
You chuckle

Would it make you feel better
If I shared my strawberries with you
And I ate some of your chocolate

I nod my head
With a mouth full of Hershey’s

You pop a strawberry in your mouth
And start to chew

Getting out of your seat
You walk towards me smirking

I sit up as you sit down
Beside me

Alright my love
Let’s share
