i got your bean sprouts

you aren't to be
trusted
with chocolate
in the house.
or ice cream
or chips
or cookies or
anything slightly
resembling
unhealthy food.
you can eat
your way through
a whole cake
or pie in a week.
however put a fresh
bunch of carrots
in the fridge,
some bean sprouts,
or broccoli,
well those things
may be there
until the end
of time.
