The Power of Feminine Intuition



I feel a feminine intuition,
Telling me there's chocolate in the kitchen.
Though I'm certain I'd never buy it,
It would be difficult to deny it,
If someone were to find it.
Then he would surely try it.
I had better search, to protect
Anyone who might detect
Chocolate-with it's delicious
Sugar that leaves a continuous
Feeling of delight
(A diabetic fright!)
Deep inside...
Followed by
An endless craving
engraving
itself on your soul.
The door bell rings.
Who could it be?
Why, it's my friend Mary
Who brings to my very
Kitchen: the chocolate I have been missing.
Thank you feminine intuition!

This is my answer to Didar's challenge:
I propose that next theme for a poem will have to have two things: 1) it has to about or involving ‘INTUITION’ and 2) it has to be FUNNY (whether a witty limerick, or a dark sarcastic piece, no matter). Enjoy a few laughs by checking out the work of those who were up to the challenge:
