Little square shapes and fancy, round twirls;
nestled in boxes with ribbons in swirls;
joined in arrays like crossword puzzles;
sprinkled with cocoa and formed into truffles;
rolled in nuts and melted on sticks;
soft, creamy centres with crunchy bits;
shaped into rabbits, koalas and frogs;
poured into moulds and rolled into logs.
Chocolate, oh chocolate, so delicious, so sweet!
Pull off the wrapper! Come on, let’s eat!

You might like the Crunchie, an excellent pick,
this miniature, choc-coated honeycomb brick
or what about something the colour of cream?
If that’s sounding tempting, then try out the Dream.
There’s Dairy Milk, Picnic and Mint Bubbly too,
all of them sitting here waiting for you.
If fruit mixed with coconut’s what you like best
the Cherry Ripe option is what I’d suggest.
There’s smooth Caramello and crumbling Flake.
It’s not such an easy decision to make.
This might be the last time we’re offered such treats.
You’d better choose wisely from all of these sweets.
But just let me warn you, we don’t want a fight.
So stay right away from that Turkish Delight!
