Chocolate For Dinner

I know you won’t like it, but what can I say?
I just felt like having some Chocolate today!
I thought about dinner, and what I have got,
Looked into my pantry. I found "Shocolotte!"*

It didn’t need boiling; did not have to thaw,
Just open the package, glom onto a chaw!
Now that’s a good dinner! No side dish or main,
Only one big decision -- either with nuts, or plain?

* -- (That's the way the French People say it, don'tcha know?)

"Eighteen Flavors"

Eighteen luscious, scrumptious flavors
Chocolate, lime and cherry,
Coffee, pumpkin, fudge banana
Caramel cream and boysenberry.
Rocky road and toasted almond,
Butterscotch, vanilla dip,
Butter brickle, apple ripple,
Coconut and espresso chip,
Brandy peach and lemon custard,
Each scoop lovely, smooth and round,
Tallest ice-cream cone in town,
Lying there (sniff) on the ground.

~By Shel Silverstein

Will do. You have a great day, too!

Marissa Graduates!

I’m only getting started. I’ve got my running shoes.
Let’s have a lovely party, and then we’ll tell the news.
I’m going back to school next year! They love to see my face!
And I get smarter all the time. One day I’ll run the place!

But just for now we’ll celebrate. We’ll have some cake and stuff,
Some ice cream and some games and things, and that should be enough.
I like the school I go to. We play games and we learn,
If I couldn’t go there every day, I don’t know where I’d turn!

I’m thinking about my next degree, the next place that I go.
I’d like it fancy, if you please, I’d like to steal the show!
I’ll learn to speak new languages, I’ll juggle numbers fine.
I’ll fill my head with all the keys, and make the whole world mine.

Happy Anniversary, Meek!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I found the ice cream on post 123, but is there cake some where too? I thought cake was mentioned somewhere in Bob's poem?

CONGRATULATIONS Marissa!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I will be subbing in another dept for the next 3 weeks, beginning Monday and do not know if I will be here much or at all. Please keep pinging me, hopefully I'll be back soon!

Great pictures and poem. Marissa looks very happy. Was that because she graduated or because school has ended?

Whatever, congratulations are in order.

[OESY]
