The March of the Chocolate Soldier

Alan .S. Jeeves

WARNING!

This may be the saddest poem you have ever read

 

 

I had a chocolate soldier
He had a chocolate heart;
He had a chocolate lady fair,
They never were apart.

 

They marched out in the morning
As daytime had begun
And there, beneath a cloudless sky,
They melted in the sun.

      Hi da. This was originally intended as a children's poem but it may be too sad for their ears.
      Kind regards, Alan

          Now if I can stop sobbing Alan, I would be asking myself if this won’t be the fate of many human folks in the next fifteen to twenty or so years …
          Neat verse – I admired it very much – thanks.

          • Alan .S. Jeeves

            G'day Dave.
            You may be right, although you wouldn't think so here in Blighty today - rainy cold for May. I guess in your neck of the woods the soldier wouldn't last long.
            Kind regards, Alan

            • Alan .S. Jeeves

              Hi Jerry,
              I am pleased that you enjoyed my chocolate soldier. Please think twice before you devour one again.
              Kind regards, Alan

              Haha -- that cheered me up. I could not feel sad even though the melted.

              • Alan .S. Jeeves

                I'm pleased this made you happy TP. At least no one gets hurt. Thanks for looking in, I appreciate it.
                Kind regards, Alan

              • myself and me

                Sad yet lovely, at the end, they became one.

                • Alan .S. Jeeves

                  Thanks for looking in m&m. Yes! chocolate is lovely.
                  Kind regards, Alan

                  At least they melted together and became one.
