Poem #26 - Chocolate Discovery

I love chocolate,
Be it Godiva, Ritter Sport, Lindt, Ferrerro Rocher or Ghirardelli,
I don't need to view their ads on the telly,
To be convinced that they are just delightful
To my taste buds and my belly.

My preference is chocolate of the dark make,
Over 60% cocoa,
That is my threshold
For the take.

The use of very little sugar in the chocolate bar,
Will carry the quality rating very far,
Especially if it is used instead of high fructose corn syrup,
To be a minor ingredient of sweetness,
So that the chocolate won't be judged on anything less.

While most of the above mentioned brands are European,
Today I learned that Ghirardelli is actually Californian,
I was impressed,
For at first I thought it was of Italian make,
Until I studied the package intently so,
And noticed it was founded in 1852 in San Francisco.

So, kudos to this American brand,
Which tastes so good,
I just had to take a stand,
And this poem I had to write,
Before I said
Have a good night.
