Welcome back to the odd and whimsical poetery of the Peeps related to holidaze! Let’s investigate what today is, because we need all the holidaze we can celebrate, right?
Lately, every day seems to be many holidays! Which is good, because we all have our favorites. So I will pick out two, and you can click the link above if you’re curious about the rest. This is an Open Thread, so please feel free to add your favorite pomes and photoes and holidaze for today in the Comments!
Today is National Milk Chocolate Day
What could be better!? Srsly, you probably think I make these up to honor all my favorite foods, but nope! It’s the fault of the holiday people (whoever they are)!
Did you know that chocolate actually has mood-enhancing benefits? That’s right—chocolate can make you happy! This is due to the fact that it contains a stimulant called theobromine and a compound called anandamide. Now that’s a reason to celebrate!
Today, enjoy milk chocolate your favorite way. Happy Milk Chocolate Day!
Chocolate Pleasure
by Carma Reed
[Nope, no double entendres here, no sirree!!]
Will you, Eat me; eat me,
please, like A piece,
of Reese’s Pieces,
chocolate pleasure,
I melt in your mouth,
I am that Kit-Kat,
who will satisfy,
your whatchamacallit,
to make the Skor, on
Your Nutroll,
and go nutritiously,
nutrageous,
over my babyruth,
for you are, that mounds,
of full almond joy.
[“International Poet” Carma Reed’s poems include “Values at Top Rate,”“Jamaica Islands,” and “A Soft Kiss”. Unfortunately, no further biographical information could be found.]
Personally, I love those vanilla ice cream bars with the chocolate coating — I can eat the coating and the pets can have a bit of the ice cream!
