I Will Not! I will not think of chocolate bars those horrid, rais’ny chocolate bars or ones with peanuts, almonds, too, I will not think of sug’ry goo. Nor will I think of crispied rice, taken up so sweet and crunchied nice, they are to all a tempting vice, you cannot make me dream. I will not dream of creamy cores, with cherries, almond flavors, more, you will not wave the scent of brown that wafts above a chocolate town. Hershey, Pennsylvania’s fine, as long as it’s across the line that marks the Great Divide. A mountain bar, of nougat lore, won’t get my climb, nor make me poor. I’ll just believe that determined I would crave not for Eskimo Pie, but rather for an artichoke or sippings from a Pepsi-coke. Oh, no, you’ve got me delusional I’m really quite confusional perhaps just one little bite of Snicker’s midgie or almond Mars. See what you’ve done, you’ve ruined my rhyme messed with my rhythm, its beat, its time. ©November 16, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Well now, if you had to pick an alternative to chocolate, artichokes would do it for me...as long as I have the right dipping sauce! LOL...this is very clever, very charming, and I'm grinning widely! |

Chocolate artichokes... I wonder how they would taste? Probably somewhat better than chocolate ants, I imagine but not as good as chocolate strawberries! When I was a child, my parents always used to buy chocolate covered matzoh at Passover, but when I moved to Michigan I couldn't find them. Finally, I mentioned them to the manager of the new supermarket which opened here a couple of years ago... and he actually found some for me... so now I can have chocolate Passover I loved your poem... ![]() Lyra |

Witty! Whimsical! Yummy in the tummy! Oh, no! I've got another chocolate attack coming on again and all I have is a chocolate-flavored protein power drink! Hopefully it will hold me over until I can taste the good stuff!--like Lady Godiva chocolates! EA |
