I Have Chocolate

To say I have chocolate can say so many things from you were right to I was wrong to I haven’t seen you in so long it can soften what stings I am sorry to don’t you worry or cue our favourite song from I’ve had enough to I call your bluff to I like it better when we get along from you’re invited to they’re near sighted let’s eat that heartache gone

Sweet! Great theme: the many languages of chocolate. And I like the form too. Works equally for hot chips :)

Tastefully written Mo ;) Pure chocolate, not the "processed with alkali" kind, is healthy and beneficial. That said, it just plain soothes all wounds and enhances all celebrations! Congratulations on POTW! :)

ahhh chocolate...it soothes everything, forgives all...and the best part is that it tastes great. I always have some tucked in my purse, for one never knows when one will need the comfort chocolate brings. Plus, I believe its one of the four major food groups...gotta be healthy, right? :-) Congrats on Poem of the Week

Ya got ya Dove chocolates, ya Hershey chocolates, ya Godiva chocolates, ya Mrs. See's chocolates.... anytime chocolate... anytime. At the moment I'm thinking about opening freezer and having a couple of scoops of Blue Bunny cherry ice cream with slivers of chocolate. mm mm mmmm. Addiction to die for, and just might. Scrum diddly umptious, Mo!
