Full of Beans

Cocoa from this bean derived Essential to this product Scarce thought for the deprived With creamy blend of milk and butter Our tendency to indulge A fair wage and exchange- it's juster Alas sugar laden, it feeds the bulge And addiction In assorted shapes and packs To enhance temptation While the bean pickers live in shacks Obesity the scourge of the West Small amounts only is the lament Hard work and long hours spent Sparse time for rest An essential gift for the yearly fest And post elective fast Fair trade for all we must propound You see its full of beans So make it last
