Standing In Line For Chocolates

there is a store in a strip mall
Many people are waiting in line
Only four people allowed inside
This store specializes in chocolates
There are many flavours to choose

You can not pick the chocolates
Instead ou point to what you want
Then the lady puts it into the bag
All you do is point to your option
A decision of twenty dollars bagged
Or you could do thirty dollars bagged

There will be a sample chocolate to try
So next time you could add it to your list
I always enjoy a Lindlt chocolate
they have been around since 1841

Maurice Rigoler December 23, 2020 at 12:05 PM If there is one candy sweet I love more than any other it's chocolate! As a diabetic it's a great temptation to have more than one small piece, though. I avoid the malls as much as possible at this holiday time, not only on account of thr pandemic but to avoid the rude and pushy crowds. Thank you for reading my poems. Best to you in all your endeavors. / Maurice Darlene De Beaulieu December 29, 2020 at 7:18 AM Hello Maurice, I only eat chocolates this time of the year. I also make chocolates of my own. I made some for a widow. I also made diabetic chocolates in the past. I do not like crowds either. You are welcome my friend. Enjoy your day. Happy New Year.

Jennifer Proxenos December 23, 2020 at 9:32 AM Mmmmmmmmmmm - chocolate, I can eat it with anything, on it own, with grapes, with cheese, on bread - I could go on and on.
