2011 - Day 145

A fountain spilling chocolate
Down into a pond,
The fish and frogs inhale it
Till the night is dawn.
These creatures bloat and die from it
They wash up on the shore,
Bambi and Thumper eat their skins
Black goo drips to the floor.
The ants and furry rodents
Gather up this treat,
Bring it to their champions
The topping for the feast.
From their nests and burrows
They hear the death machine,
Man comes in and tears shit down
Killing all that's green.
They spot a bit of chocolate goop
And gather up a sample,
Manufacture it in labs
And now I have a handful.
Crusty rotten old pathetic
Days forgotten past,
Sidestep since it's better than none
How long will this last?
