Exceptional temptation The Candy Dish by pome lover

I inherited a Steuben Glass candy dish, It’s heavy and it holds a lot. It’s full of all kinds of temptations, And will power’s strength I have not.   It sits in plain view on the table, I pass by it hundreds of times I try not to let it distract me, Those candies of all different kinds:    At times there’s homemade peanut brittle, Or fudge with milk choc’late or dark, Meringues light as air, sticky middles, And pralines, and peppermint bark.   I tell myself that it’s for comp’ny, I try to forget that it’s there; But that’s just like acting like there’s nothing wrong When your granddaughter sports purple hair.   It’s really a test of good judgement But mine has just run out of juice, I take one of each … Oh my word, these are good! Sometimes my bad judgement gets loose.   But I’ll think about that tomorrow As Scarlette O’Hara would say, And sleep a sound sleep, because after all, Tomorrow’s another day.
