CHOCOLATE IN THE AIR
BY Fiona Cummings
For a while it remained a mystery
Whatever could that delightful smell be
I found out it came from the nearby factory
Which made chocolate dreams come true
To all children like me and you
I imagined little elves worked in there
And one naughty one in particular
Opened the window
Allowing the aroma
to escape in the air
He was the mischievous naughty Norman
Who has the job title of Forman
The other elves don’t get on with him
Too well
Especially whom they
call Noddy
With the biggest
silver bell
When it is break time Noddy shakes his hat
His bell rings so hard it wakes the factory cat
Who sleeps in an outside shed
And has a fresh daily
dish of chocolate milk
And the most
comfortable cosy bed
A log table with a cloth of silk
Is ready so the elves
can be fed
With little toadstools to sit on
And be given dishes by the cook Alvin
Caramel cups
And strawberry spoons
Chocolate fountains
And bubble gum balloons
Every day there is a birthday party
Because there are so many elves at the factory
Each one having their celebration
Sounds of laughter and jubilation
Leaking from the walls
Everyone wants to visit there
But we are told not
at all
As it is a secret haven
A chocolate heaven
When I open my back door
The smell in the air I adore
