Easter Thoughts 3

Easter Thoughts 3 Easter's come and Easter's gone - My Jaws and Stomach's sore And the word or sight of Chocolate - Doesn't excite me any more Your eye's are bigger than your stomach - or so the saying goes My shorts no longer fit me - and I cannot see my toes Twenty types of Chocolate - And forty different brands to lounge and pick-from amongst their midst Does make you feel quite grand The Poor, The Weak, The Lonely - The Sick and Elderly Five class of Humankind I know - whose lives are Chocolate free The time might come, when I might add - the Wonka to my name Strawberry creams and Turkish delights - bring fortune and more fame I've had my fill, I've had suffice - no bloody more for me I'll take a rest, build up my strength - and get ready for the Xmas tree William Hancock 08.April.2004

William Hancock WONKA, chocolate philosopher-poet. I like this poem, WH. It has depth, as with 5 classes of humans (who may not get chocolate). Yes, 2020 was an odd Easter, most churches were closed, & groups were NOT allowed. But where two talk of Jesus' love on the Cross, it is CHURCH
