Hot Chocolate

(H)olding a cup
(O)f hot chocolate
(T)oasty warm inside

(C)omforting peace
(H)aving quiet time
(O)n the recliner
(C)overed with an afghan
(O)utside, blustery bouts of snow
(L)iving room woodstove heat is cozy
(A)ll sweet taste
(T)o keep me going
(E)ach sip, I take

Marvelous, I can imagine the scene clearly and the taste of this inviting liquid, wrapped up and comfortable, while winter is at work about the environment outside taking its toll and disguising it all in a whiter shade of pale, with apologies to Procol Harum.
