Midnight Snack, 1984, by Curtis Wilson Cost
"Worries go down better with soup." ~Jewish Proverb
"or chocolate cake..." ~Carrie :-)
So many nights I wake up pondering
on all the whys and worries of my life.
I toss and turn with wrestling regrets
that punch and know how to win a fight.
Soon I am up and wandering
towards my side by side frigidaire
hoping for some chocolate cake
to knock out my worries and cares.
hoping for some chocolate cake
to knock out my worries and cares.
When all the crumbs are scooped up
with a fork or tongue to plate
I head back to my empty bedroom
and rest peacefully until daybreak.
I agree, chocolate cake and whatever is in the fridge ~ Happy day to you~
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - chocolate cake makes all the worries go away, at least for a little bit anyway!
ReplyDeleteOh, I enjoyed this. Chocolate cake can definitely be the best medicine! Smiles.
ReplyDeleteCould not agree more .. I baked the most spectacular cake for my son's birthday last weekend ... three layers, seedless raspberry preserves between the layers, whipped creme cheese chocolate icing! Nothing left for a midnight snack.
ReplyDeleteor coffee.....coffee anytime of day....it is my constant companion....which may not be a good thing...smiles.
ReplyDeleteThe ultimate comfort food. I think nearly everyone can relate to this Carrie. :o)
ReplyDeleteAny kind of chocolate will work...especially dark chocolate...verrry dark...
ReplyDeleteChocolates are heavenly !!!
ReplyDeletechocolate in any form makes the worries less ominous in the dark...sleep tight!
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteComfort food brings a kind of contentment, especially of course, chocolate and chocolate cake:)
It is good though to have a means of immediate relief of worries...
Happy Autumn Carrie,
Eileen :)
Dear dear Carrie
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with all of these - the midnight worries, the chocolate cake and the dreamless sleep after that.
There is something else that works just as divinely, but I won't go into that!

Chocolate cake is the cure to almost everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone...I think we are all in agreement on the love of chocolate! :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely something in chocolate that helps us sleep. Thank goodness the fridge wasn't empty!
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about chocolate period, for me! I just adore that first quote, which opens into such a delightful poem...what a lead and what a finish!
ReplyDeleteLove the poem and love chocolate cake too! :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, chocolate cake is divine when washed down with red wine! I love your poem!
ReplyDeleteoooh, darkness doesn't disappoint, when it is chocolate cake!
