Notes About The Poem

Chocolate should be a food group, maybe a blood group.

How Much Do You Love Chocolate

I love chocolate, all sorts of chocolate,
The darker and browner the better.
I love it like the Greek love their bread, 
When their bread is covered in Feta.

A shout out to Cadbury and Nestle, 
The companies making our dreams come true.
Making everything chocolate: cookies, cakes, and bars, 
And even making chocolate shampoo.

Some say chocolate’s a medicine, a type of food group,
To others it’s a lifestyle choice.
I say chocolate gives everyone a serious reason to smile, 
A serious reason to rejoice.

It makes us feel happy when sad, confident when not, 
Forgetting all our troubles and woes.
It makes us feel delighted, ecstatic, perky and tickled,
From our head right down to our toes.

And the best time of year, every single year,
The Easter Bunny hops around quiet as a mouse.
He’ll be here soon, leaving hundreds and thousands of eggs,
Eggs made of chocolate all over the house.
