Flavours Plenty by David Wilding (29th November 2008)
Chocolate, caramel, walnut whip
Strawberrry centre, sherbert dip
Flavours plenty, all around
Many seen but few are found
How does anyone make the choice?
This tastes but this has voice
That one there I can't resist
Don't know how I could have missed
Wanting all but having none
Having darkness, needing none
Which is first and which is best?
Don't want that but all the rest
Maybe I, the door should use
Better that than getting used
Too much sweetness, teeth are gone
Dentist calling, not much fun
Just can't leave the shop this way
Have to stay and need to play
Lemon dip-dabs, pick n' mix
Can't go out without a twix
Torture torture, what to do?
Try them all or just a few?
Leave alone or take a bag?
All of this and none of that

'Rebirth' - by David Wilding
- Five years .... To some it is life, Others it is near death, But to me it is a lie, A deceit of my time there. And to you, its creator, When you turned my life Upside, the down fell out And was scattered, The pieces many, far and wide. ....
