Who is the author of this poem?
This will prove to be the ultimate literature test! ;)
If you can't get the author, comment on the poem, if you liked it!

Not for the first time
Was that feeling,
So enticing
I've felt it before, of course,
But not with so much force

I've seen her many a time
On Tv,net and playtime!
She's from Switzerland, they said
Sadly, no attention I paid
Quite an infatuation this,
Addictive, she certainly is!

She came home a few days back
My mouth watered as self control, I lack!
Strangely, I wasn't the only one
Others too, were after the precious one!
I thought, Never mind, I'll beat 'em to it,
Else, call me a dimwit!

That night, her cold room I entered,
Ah! There she was, in the centre!
I carefully removed her cover,
Ready to be eaten, me and my Lindt, united forever!
