Chocolate in the air
The chocolate wedding day
By Fiona Cummings
Passing by the factory
It’s the day when two elves will marry
Val and Jim will cut their cake
The best man for sure is Jake
Bubble gum balloons hang from the trees
Oh let them be happy forever please
I stood behind the bus shelter peeping
As it was early dawn everyone was sleeping
All except the chocolate people
Wow look at tiny Tixi getting out of the car
Her silver hair like a bright shining star
Nessie bus comes tooting along
Out jumps Melody singing a song
Alvin the cook carries a milk tray
Norman the Forman is wanting to play
Paddy warns him not today
Norm if you’re going
to be naughty go away
Who is in the ice cream van
With a hat like a big marang
Oh yes I think she is called Pam
Hay look there is Marj. telling the guests where to go
By this point Ellie and
Carter are putting on a show
Oh they are so funny dancing about
Silly things need to behave or Marj will shout
A chocolate church with its
candy steeple
Under an archway of sugared roses
Where Noddy proudly
stands and poses
Nancy and Noddy steel a cherry kiss
Everyone is excited there is just one elf who is a miss
Oh look here she comes in a white chocolate car
The windows rolo down
and I see a chocolate coin
The groom looks like
he is going to fall over, oh boing
Poor strawberry
haired Jim
Jake lends him his arm to steady him
Just then I couldn’t believe what I saw
A tall giraffe walked around as though to explore
Looking up in the sky
I wondered why
Then the milky bar bird swooped down to the ground
A rag doll cat with a flying saucer hat
Chased the sugared
mouse in to the tiny house
How did I ever fit in there
I wish I could shrink again and this day I would share
Then a bang and a flair
Next thing I was there
Right in the middle
Where Jake was playing a violin or was it a fiddle
Val walked down the
honey coated isle
Wearing lace and a milk bottle smile
She carried the smallest bouquet I have ever seen
Oh look over there I’m sure that is the king and Queen
My elf friends are in so much trouble if I am seen
Let me hide behind this jelly bean
How on earth is it possible to get this small
And how does the giraffe
stay so tall
Looking around I’m like a crumb on the ground
I guess there is no need to hide as I look like the others
Oh in walk the elf children all the sisters and brothers
Singing a song in words I didn’t understand
I just felt so happy in this chocolate land
Toffee trumpets played in a band
I caught Jims eye and he winked at me
Then to my left was the rosy faced lady
She beamed at me so full of warmth
Like a hot chocolate drink on a winters night
I smiled at her in pure delight
Then I witnessed the most beautiful sight
A chocolate fountain of dark and white
The children’s choir stood holding a large tea cup
Chocolate flowed filling it up
Then carefully they carried it to the bride and groom
As the King announced of the couples honeymoon
Drink this gift
In a basket you will sit
And be carried away by a balloon
To a faraway place
Where you have never been
Let this be a present from me and my queen
It was just then that I realised I had been seen
Oh no
The snow
What shall I do
I jumped in an enormous
chocolate shoe
Then the rosy lady said boo
Pulling me out
Putting her finger to her lips
She looked like a spout
On a round china tea pot
Oh silly me I got it wrong
As Jake came over to me when we were all to sing a song
He explained the king and queen would soon be on an
aeroplane
Then I was free to enjoy the day again
He told me I had not been noticed and it was a tradition
That the chocolate royalty gave a gift of loyalty
A present of passion
Whatever holiday was in fashion
Balloons were a hit in the factory
And this is what the couple wanted you see
Few thank Goodness no one got in trouble
Then a collection was given and the dish was full of
truffles
I had nothing to give as was not expecting this
So Jake told me just to make a wish
I did that very moment
And sealed it with such sentiment
Then floated through a cloud of chocolate dust
Grabbing buttons as they were a must
Looking down to the
ground
The bells were a beautiful sound
Chocolate handles ringing away
Melting candles burnt that day
I glided over a golden carriage
What a dream what an amazing marriage
A beautiful wedding day
