Choc'Lit

Some folks buy choc'lit for almost every special event.
I've heard of hubbies buying it for discord to prevent!
But I don't need a motive or any momentous occasion.
I'll savor that ambrosia anytime, with little or no persuasion!

Choc'lit white, light or dark, it really matters not.
Better yet with nuts! Now that really hits the spot!
'Tis the nector of the gods as that rich, pure choc'lit
Oozes over and saturates a delectable banana split!

Should my spouse ever muse, "Whatever shall I bake?"
My reply will always be, "I want a German choc'lit cake!"
And there's no better way my taste buds to seduce,
Than to end a sumptuous meal with a creamy choc'lit mousse!

When on occasion too many rum-filled choc'lits I ate,
It made me somewhat giddy and difficult to navigate!
My feelings you would certainly never, ever ruffle,
Should you deign to offer me a gooey choc'lit truffle!

The return to dust is inevitable - it we cannot postpone,
So I've concocted this epitaph to etch upon my stone:
"Dear Lord, be merciful as my eternal bourne I begin;
Please forgive me, a chocoholic, should it be deemed a sin!"

Hi Bob, the "chocolate" story was done for radio. AP and UPI radio picked it up and the UPI office in Tallahassee had a call from a woman in California who said she finally knew why she had been "crazy all these years." LOL I did radio, TV and print journalism for years and wish your daughter every success! There's a lot of competition but the best ones rise to the top.

Laughing now, Bob! Chocolate has phenylethelamine (spelling?) in it and as a reporter I did a story that was carried nationwide on how it produces a marijuana-like high and makes people feel more "romantic." I knew there was something special about it. It's so addictive. Great poem, my friend!! Love, Carolyn
