Napowrimo Day 6 Food!

Everyone expected it to be about beer...
But the day was yet young.
And the madness had to be nailed down by someone.
So, I chose... Chocolate.
Chocolate, just a square, or two
To melt upon my tongue.
to separate the day
Into more manageable pieces.
Just a single, dark-sweet bliss filled jolt of sanity.
A space to breathe,
to be me, in amongst the mountainous piles of paperwork
And endless questions of Why?

I didn't want to shirk
Or not do my job.
Just a moment of chocolate
To fend off the mob
Baying for my corporate blood.
But....
Maybe the madness was real.
Maybe, I indulged a little more than I should.
'Cause as I look around me
the shelves are now bare.
A million wrappers drown my desk
No more chocolate, anywhere.
And I...
feel a little fuller than I should.
Now I have chocolate, instead of blood!
