One Colossal Goof

You have never tasted chocolate
‘Til you’ve had yourself a bite
Of a truffle bought in Belgium,
Like the one I had tonight.

Purchased on my last vacation – 
Seemed it was the thing to do –
I had not yet had a nibble
‘Cause I didn’t have a clue.

But a visit from my daughter
Was the motivating force
And it only took a tiny taste
To fill me with remorse.

For my mouth became electric
From a chocolate so intense
That the small amount I purchased
Didn’t make a lot of sense.

Oh, at times I must acknowledge
Making one colossal goof
And if you could taste this truffle,
You’d have all you need as proof.

Maybe you can order some online. I've always felt this way about some dark wiesen bier in Germany. MMMM!
