All in a Day's Work

One or two pieces of candy
A few potato chips
A spoonful of rocky road ice cream
Going past my lips

A sliver of apple pie
To see if it tastes as it should
A morsel of a cookie
Just to make sure it is good

A bite of chocolate cake
Two nibbles of a pastry roll
I don't think of this as snacking
For me, it's quality control
