Poem Title:
Poem
A neighbor returned home early from a vacation in Switzerland. When asked about his trip he seemed a little hesitant to talk about it. Finally he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I found it rather an unfriendly place." Puzzled about such a statement I asked why? "The first evening in Geneva I asked for a cup of hot chocolate and they kicked me out of the establishment. 'Sir we'll have none of that in here,' he told me." "The next morning I decided to eat at the hotel where I was staying and the same thing happened. Only this time they kicked me out bag and baggage and told me not to come back. I found a rooming house and spent the night there. The next morning the same thing happened when I asked for a cup of hot chocolate." "Soon my presence was known all over town and I couldn't get another room. So I had to come home early. It was as though I had a bad reputation or something." I was totally shocked. How could such a straight laced religious man cause such an up roar? And this was so out of character for the things I had heard about the Swiss people. "If you ever go to that country don't order the Hot Chocolate. It must be taboo to serve it." How could a simple cup of Hot Chocolate cause such a commotion? "Are you sure it was the HOT CHOCOLATE that caused the problem?" "Of Coures it was. I'd go into a restaurant and ask for an extra ' HOT SWISS MISS ' and they'd throw me out." Gotcha__ Didn't I?
