To Digest readers everywhere
we present the latest health craze.
The host of diseases dark chocolate prevents
will dumbfound and truly amaze.
Doctors discovered it's good for your heart;
a remedy all should follow.
Keep plenty in your medicine chest,
chew two bars then swallow.
Two bars a day chase cramps away,
this syndrome's best resource.
Chase them down with lots of milk-
chocolate milk, of course!
Mood swings require quick intervention
at the chocolate buffet downtown.
Grab the largest platter you can find,
then feast on this cure by the pound.

M and M's lift my mood every time...

Thank you for entering the "Health-Care poems" competition. However, you seem to have missed the point (stated clearly in the rules) that we were looking for poems about the Health Care professionsl. So this poem is really rather periphera;/. But please do not remove it from the competition. It still may earn you some points!

reading once more with feeling! I had chocolate yesterday when we were at the beach. It was cool and overcast so it didn't melt fast and get gooey. I wanted a chunky bar but the man at the store said that company went under. I don't believe him I'm going to google it.

remember it has to be dark chocolate lmao. I hate dark chocolate. Nice write; I like the border but it makes me want coffee for some reason. Rich dessert with strong, hot coffee .... mmmmmmm.

No suh!
C'mon, when has chocolate NOT improved your mood?
at least temporarily.
It's the best! All kinds: m&m's, reeses, Godiva, Lindt, no name. ALL GOOD! Except for super bitter dark chocolate, unless you melt it, add sugar, and use as a fondue for fruit. Then it's ok for you.
It's gotta taste good!

Haha, never tried that but it sounds amazing!
Very nicely written, I like the different tone and perspective of this piece!
Sorry to say, I'm going to close the contest because I'm just tired of AP at the moment, but I will add a feature to this to thank you for your entry.

Slightly sarcastic but marred by the use of exclamation marks which say in effect, "Wow, this is funny, I don't really meant this......." Sarcasm should stand on its on two legs, like a cripple.

Thanks for pointing that out, Edna.

-
your making me hungry now..best of luck in the contest

Wow, this sounds wonderful. It's just too bad I can't eat sugar, because you have sure tantalized my taste buds with this poem in praise of chocolate. Best of luck in the contest with this marvelous piece.
