Chocolate ice cream melts in my mouth,
sweeter for being forbidden.
Never keep such treats in the house.
Chocolate ice cream, it melts—my mouth!
My diet plans have just gone south;
this digression must be hidden.
Chocolate... Ice cream melts in my mouth,
sweeter for being forbidden

Fun, for sure. Chocolate ice cream was a super-favorite of my father's and also mine. A unique abaaabab rhyme scheme.

A great subject for a triolet! Well-written. It makes me want to head to the freezer, ice cream scoop in hand!
