No More Candy - Laura Benanti

We become indiscreet

Eating sweet after sweet,

Though we know all too well where that may lead.

So this box was designed

With the two of us in mind

As the kind of reminder we need.

When you raise the lid, the music plays

Like a disapproving nod.

And it sings in your ear:

«No more candy, my dear!»

In a way, it’s a little like the voice of God.

Thank you, madam

Please call again

Do call again

Madam
