Ah, the things to which I could have admitted when I was young! The poems I could have written to describe my deep desires!
However, I have few guilty pleasures left; but Izy is a hard taskmistress, so I looked at my decadent self this morning, lounging about on a river cruise ship, doing not-very-much, and I find I must admit the truth.
Here are Izy's rules for this month’s Out of Standard challenge, followed by my response.
1. Admit to your deeply dark guilty pleasure.

2. Write a poem gluttonously inspired by it. NOTICE: I said gluttonously
inspired, which means no light hinting or a slight name drop. Go now, toads, rub your bellies in the muck and bleat delightfully at its deliciousness.

I’m drinking
tea with honey and lemon
soothing to
a sore throat, so good for me,
while eyeing
a pastry filled with chocolate
(my fourth
of the morning)
which will
be my reward
for drinking
the tea.
All good
deeds should be rewarded,
don’t you
agree?

It's so hard to turn down a good chocolate!
An admirable outlook, I must say. :) Hope the sore throat is fiction, not fact? But if it's true - may it get better soon.
Aaaah Kay, that would be my exact guilty pleasure. Not specifically chocolate - I just love ANYTHING sweet, sticky and pastry-like. Mmm. And here I am munching an apple for lunch, *sigh*. Hope your sore throat is better soon. Enjoy your cruise. We're OFF tomorrow midday, Whoo-hoo! (((hugs))) Jo
This sounds pretty grand. I actually love tea, but the chocolate sounds good too. k.
Yes, definitely, Kay! Lemon tea with honey is real soothing to the throat.

...tea isn't that bad... I'm trying to remember that spoonful of stuff my grandmother used to take every day... Cod liver oil? I tasted it once and it was horrific! But a slice (or four) of cake in the morning is a guilty pleasure! :)
Oh yes, indeed!
Of course I agree,lol !
i do agree .. and a little bit of sugar helps the medicine go down .. feel better soon ..
LOL....my fourth of the morning....that sounds delightful if you ask me. Now pass me a pastry!!!!!!
Of course! It's called a balanced diet.
I do indeed agree, and I can hardly keep my eyes off your photo. I feel a peeping Tam....
Oh I LOVE your philosophy!!!!!! If I eat a carrot, can I then consume pie in good conscience? Hilarious, Kay!
YES!
i do agree! or at least, i hope. :)
Oh yes, that's a guilty pleasure of Dark dark chocolate, yum.
I like the way you think!
I appreciate you taking a moment to conjure your deep dark guilty pleasure.....sometimes all we can fess up to is a murderous love of chocolate, hiding under our guise of healthy tea....thanks for posting Kay
I do agree! That is why I always buy myself a Hershey bar with almonds when I check out with my groceries and eat it in the car on the way home!
BTW, I've had a heck of a time getting your blog page to load. Same with a few other blogs, including Toads. I get the Home Page picture but little else and the links don't work. Anyone else having issues?
Well of course I agree.
Hey...do you want the rest of that?
I have a weakness for sweets...I can't purchase them or they disappear. :)
Yes, I think they should. Chocolate is a delicious reward....love your dark, guilty pleasure. :)
Rewards!
Much better than punishments!!!
Go for it!!
I would too.
Being on a hideous diet for the last year, reading this was torture. Chocolate would not make me guilty though--probably just blissfully unconscous. ;_) Especially in baked form..now I'm getting to the drooling point.
Ah! Decadent it certainly is .... you deserved that treat !
Now I need a cup of lemon tea before I go to bed...
That lemon tea was the wrong thing to drink before bed- it kept my brain sharp! You can see the result if you pop back HERE today! :)
