Surely it is the food of love,
Can anything best it's flavour?
Created by Gods above,
To be a sweet, perfection to savour.

Take two and you'll take five,
Take four and you'll take seven.
Each making you feel more alive,
Each, a miniature heaven.

It warms both body and soul,
On a frozen winters eve.
Or it could be delightfully cold,
When the cold, one would gladly receive.

For chocolate is my fantasy,
It's golden taste my dream.
It must be a science, an alchemy!
To give it a taste so supreme.
