Pretty pastel pastries
Sitting on a tray
Around they come
At meal's end
Inviting me to say
Let's get dessert
Let's split it
A bite or two won't hurt
It's not like just a little bit
Will pop the zipper on my skirt
But will the sweetness trigger?
Will I feel that I've been bad?
Will I go home and stuff my face
With Hostess treats for kids' lunch bags?
If I don't try to stop me
Who knows what I will eat?
The earth, the world, the universe
And one day we may see
How a shared bit of pastry
Though it wasn't much
Explodes within my consciousness
And I'm Jabba the Hutt.
