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
