Chocolate

What is your favourite chocolate

Mine are coffee creams

I could eat them every single day

They're the stuff of happy dreams

Now this might seem peculiar

But I also love the smell

Of the little after eight packets

You know the ones so well

There's just something about them

Though what I can't explain

If they ever changed the packaging

I bet they wouldn't smell the same

I love to open Roses chocolates

The ones in a huge tin

The sight of so much wickedness

Can cause a girl to sin

The purple ones with caramel

Are larger than the rest

So maybe it's inevitable

That I like those the best

And Thornton's viennese truffles

Now they're a treat indeed

When life is getting troublesome

And luxury you need

For a trip back to my childhood

A bar of Caramac

Though I thought it looked much better

When the packaging was black

Do tell me what's your favourite?

The one's you can't resist

But probably like me you'll find

You have a lengthy list!

For chocolate keeps us going

It keeps the blues at bay

Indulge, give in, allow yourself

Some chocolate every day.
