Life's a Box of Chocolates

"Life is like a box of chocolates.

You never know what you're gonna get." 

Mama Gump thought

she had it set. 

But life

is not a box of chocolates. 

Bitter, sweet, dark and light, 

But never 

A box of chocolates.

Wrapped, structured, placed in a tray

when you had gotten enough

you just put it away. 

Life

is not a box of chocolates. 

Gooey, creamy, filled with surprizes,

But life

can't be a box of chocolates.
