Beautiful poem about chocolate. Your poem opened a golden gate... It was in Egypt. Imagine it: I saw two chocolate girls in a swimming pool. They were happy children from a summer school. In a poor Egypt. I try to describe it: At short distance, a bomb blew up. Then, I think suddenly all we grew up... They were playing with a ball and laughed a lot. It was a digit ball on a tablet, but I forgot: If before or after Revolution, Still from a state of confusion.

Tasty. One thing I realised earlier tonight, is that I have no chocolate to hand, and the shop's closed :(

Jan Allison
Date: 8/24/2016 8:06:00 AM

I always have a supply in Scott in fact I still have a tub of chocolates from Christmas - but once they are opened the temptation is too much and they vanish so quickly!:-) hugs Jan xx
