I fought the Chocolate Cupcake and LOST!

 

I heard it calling my name... I walked away...

and then it called ... louder and louder and it started taunting me...

Each time I tried to resist and walk away... I try to be a lover not a fighter...

But then they all got together, en masse...

So I was neither lover nor fighter,
just a great big biter!
