Today marks the birth of Scotland’s favourite poet, Robert Burns. So, we couldn’t let this go past without a mention. Especially, as it gives us the perfect opportunity to highlight the wonderful poetry our members post on the Talkback, Your Voice Wall.
Traditionally marked with haggis and whisky, here at Talkback we fancied something a little sweeter to celebrate the occasion. This chocolate themed poem by Sue, is just the treat we needed to brighten up this dreary January day.
My Hero
My hero, my hero
Chocolate is my hero
Crunchie, twirl and fudge
To save me, to save me
From all my struggles daily
And help me get out of my grudge…
Éclair, eclair
Why aren’t you there?
When hunger grips me in a tizzy
Crème egg twister
Not for my sister!
Come to me now, I despair
Smooth and silky
Sweet and creamy
The taste I enjoy and like
Plain chocolate, milk chocolate
Anyway up, even a milky bar white
When things are troubled
I love to muddle and sort through the wrappers of joy
Heroes, heroes, chocolate coated heroes
Chocolate is there to enjoy
Chocolate coated Sue
By Sue from Reading
