WHAT’S THE BEST THING

ABOUT CHOCOLATE CAKE?

It may be round, it may be square,

Dark and delicious, so who really cares.

The face it shows is not all that this thing is about,

Not sure by looking at it if one should let loose and dig in.

What’s the best thing about chocolate cake?

Well, look beyond what the mask is showing.

Get to the inside, dig in deep too another sweet,

Something hidden, soft, almost emotional when you find it.

Savor this incredible treasure, enjoy what it brings to you,

A facade, something that doesn’t tell the whole story.

In the end satisfied at that which has been discovered,

Tasted, enjoyed, and learned a little more about.
