GREAT BIG CHUNK of CHOCOLATE!
by Jessica DePue

I came home to an 11 lb. chocolate bar
A peace offering from my boyfriend
Who thinks I love chocolate more than him
What am I supposed to do with 11 lbs. of chocolate
I could bake a mold of obscene proportion
Or break my teeth working towards the middle
The two bars in the freezer, 70% and 85% cocoa
Suddenly pale in comparison
To this giant hunk of Belgian
Which is notably only 57%
Although this is one such case
When size makes up where content lacks
In the cocoa department, I am ambushed
Appalled by the appeal of debaucherous excess
I have the appetite and the nerve
All I need now is a hammer
