A Poem


Last week my students worked on poetic verse. This got me to thinking about my favorite poem, and I thought I'd share it here. BTW: I found it on the back of a puzzle years ago, and the author is unknown.

CHOCOLATE


I love chocolate, I admit it
From the moment I first bit it
My heart was lost
And I'd have crossed
The wildest wilds at any cost
For chocolate

I love bonbons, truffles, mousse
Boxed, or bowled, or bagged, or loose
Big thick bars or tiny chips
Creamy frostings, tasty dips
It is for these I smack my lips
For chocolate

I love chocolate, nothing better
I love the word I love each letter
And come what may
All I can say
Is give me each and every day
MORE CHOCOLATE!
