Bon Bons

"Life is like a box of chocolates"

its a really great metaphor

or simile...

either way 

they had the right idea

Everyone loves a box of fancy chocolates, but sometimes we luck out and get handed a box of unmarked bon bons. 

At times like these

the best thing we can do

it take a bite out of each candy and see what flavor it is. 

There is no mistaking the joy when you bite into the one with strawberry fluff inside. 

It tastes great 

and you feel like your on top of the world

however, 

for every strawberry, 

there is always a coconut or two 

waiting in the wings. 

you take a bite 

only to spit it out 

but by then, 

it is too late 

and the taste is already in your mouth

the damage is done. 

then every once and a while 

you bite into one that you are allergic to

your skin starts to itch 

and your airway starts restricting 

if its really bad 

you may wind up in the hospital 

all from and seemingly harmless piece of chocolate

what a surprize...

But like all good things 

chocolate has to come to an end 

what more can you say? 

It was fun while it lasted...
