Land Of Chocolate Poem by Allen Steble The Philosophical Poet

Land Of Chocolate

Rating: 3.2


I took a walk out of the ordinary today
I didn't work, rest, nor did i play
I walked out my front door with a wish
a wish that i could walk to a chocolate land
so i closed my eyes and imagined...
and there it was in my mind...
a fudge chocolate gate stood in front of me
I ran up to it with urgency
to my surprise the gate was locked and could not be opened
a note in white chocolate stared me in the face
it simply said in big bold itallycs
'please eat your way through the fudge gates'
and so I did...(I took a huge bite and chewed and chewed)
I bit one whole bar off this fudge gate
(and because i'm imagining it, my hunger is never satisfied
and I can not get sick, WaaHaa!)
I finished my bar of chocolate and huddled through

I could hardly believe what lay before me
the clouds where only forty feet above the ground
and they were made from vanilla fairy floss
there was a light rain in the near distance
I ran over and cupped my hand to try some
(sip sip) it tastes like a strawberry smoothy
I looked down at the rough multi-coloured footpath
my goodness...it was a long, long rocky road
it stretched all the way over the curved horizon
so when I went to tie my loose shoelaces
I ripped a handful of rocky road and ate it (as I chew and chew)
I point my finger to the west
there are three fast flowing rivers flowing to the south
I hurry over to the first and taste....(sip sip) its Coca Cola as fizzy as ever
I scramble over to the next and salivate...(slurp) its thick rich chocolate milk (smooth as silk)
I hussle over toward the forth and gulp it in...(sip sluuurp) its a vanilla thick shake (with swimming jelly snakes) oh how unbelievably DELICIOUS!

I dance, skip and prance like a twelve year old boy
I flip about and raise my arms with an endless joy
I see a mountain just over yonda (in the near distance)
standing at the top waving his hand, wow! , its Willy Wonka
he starts rolling giant Maltesers down the slope
I grope with amazement and look at the surrounding forrest
a chocolate mousse swamp surrounded by sugar trees (with mint leaves and chocolate ball berries)
I jump into the mousse swamp and float in its thick fudge
then a chocolate crocodile surfaces with sharp white chocolate teeth and gives me a nudge
he said to me 'don't worry, in this world you can eat me' so I did! (in about three hours)
I get out of the swamp and trip on a dark rock near the edge just as I get out
the rock cracked open and out flowed smooth rich creamy caramel (so I dived onto it and devoured as much as my mouth could take)
as I get up I look forward, an abundance of roses just lay ahead
these wern't ordinary roses like in your garden bed, these were roses chocolates
each one a different flavour, a different texture, a different taste (all scrumptious)
the ground was littered with Mars bars, Snickers, Twix, Bounty and liquorice
I look up beyond the fairy floss clouds and see millions of fun-size milky way swirling and floating above
I look all around and notice walls made of Cadbury ten kilo blocks and triple choc dove
I take a step forward and trip on a log of biscuit waffers and chocolate, it says Time Out
and slowly my world melts and fades, fades and then disappears
I wake up back in the real world slouched over the letter box biting my mail box
my neighbour is staring at me and says
'are you feeling OK today? '

From one choc-o-holic to another, may I say - What a feast of a read! Yes, Willy Wonka comes to mind - I can still remember the way he describes Charlie's very first bite... You have certainly let your imagination carry you way up into those forty foot clouds of fairy-floss in this extraordinary read. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
