Chocolate Shootout

 

 

Chocolate Shootout

 

Inside the chocolate factory

I took my paint gun

Loaded it with chocolate

Now I’ll have some fun

 

Millie hid in the back

I didn’t see her there

Christina on the other side

My brain told me to beware

 

My name is Candy … and

I didn’t have a prayer

I knew in that moment

Chocolate fudge I would wear

 

Taking careful aim

They had me in their sights

Heard all those guns a clicking

Someone turned out the lights

 

I wiped at my eyes

Opened my mouth to yell

Heard Christina’s loaded weapon

Chocolate really tasted swell

 

I couldn’t get a shot off

Chocolate flying through the air

Bombarded in chocolate shells

Their advantage was unfair

  

Covered now in chocolate

I’m finger licking good

Surrounded by the guard dogs

In fear right where I stood

 

Their growls turned to whimpers

Pouncing they licked me clean

We’re now friends forever

Best dogs you’ve ever seen

 

A strawberry dipped in chocolate

I’m as sweet as can be

Just a tasty morsel

Is all those dogs could see

 

They wait for us each Friday

After school by the door

Bowing as I enter

Drooling for some more

 

One followed me home today

He now guard only me

Waiting for my next gunfight

I’m his doggy treat you see
