Notes About The Poem

IT'S WEDNESDAY, PASS THE CHOCOLATE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The rules are simple,” Wednesday whispers. “Forget the kale, the quinoa, the virtuous calorie-free green misery.” “Today, we bow to cocoa, the bean of pure delight. A square, a bar, a molten river, bathing worries in warm light.” “Eat chocolate, be happy. It’s less a suggestion, more a dare. Try to frown with fudge smeared lips. You simply can't. Pinky swear!” “Guilt? Maybe later. Right now, there's only chocolate, and the profound understanding that sometimes, the answer is simply…
….more chocolate.

Chocolate, cheese (Terry), and a tasty glass of wine. Sounds perfect to me Sara - pinky swear! :)

Chocolate… cheese… cheese… chocolate… OKAY, OKAY… you win… the chances of me hitting the sack tonight without munching half a bar of chocolate and three slices of cheese beforehand, are now, REMOTE. And it’s entirely your fault… and please stop saying you didn’t mention Cheese… you mentioned Chocolate… that’s like saying ‘Romeo’ without saying ‘Juliet’. I reluctantly accept that your poem was a fun one, but… I WAS ON A DIET!!!

I can relate. I'm going to have to google chocolate so I can find out what's in it that is like a drug to me.
