Let The Biter Beware -- Concrete Poetry

Let The Biter Beware.

In the center of each
pale
milk
c h o c o l a t e lump
there is a hard nut
waiting to bump your
front tooth into the
d e n t i s t's chair.

In the center of each
dark
deep
c h o c o l a t e hunk
there is a car a mel
chunk just waiting to
glue
your teeth to geth er
for ev er.

Take
care.
