The Chuckling Chocolate Bar

On a candy shelf, so bright and grand, Lived treats in wrappers, close at hand. Gummy bears bounced, lollipops gleamed, A sugared kingdom, a candy dream!

Chocolate, so brown, a chunky square, Wasn't like the others, I declare! It told sweet jokes aloud, you see, "Why did the cookie go to the doctor? To get a sprinkle-itis degree!"

Then skipped a child, with eyes so wide, Into the shop, with joy inside. The shopkeeper smiled, a friendly face, As the child began to pick a place.

The chocolate bar, it saw its chance, To join the fun, to start a dance! "What do you call a sad strawberry? A blueberry!" It boomed, its wrapper a little shaky!

The child giggled, a happy sound, As laughter echoed all around. The shopkeeper chuckled, wiping a tear, "That's the funniest chocolate I've heard this year!"

The chocolate bar then told another, "What musical instrument is found in the bathroom? A tuba toothpaste!" It made everybody laugh together. The child chose the chocolate, the one so bold, A story to tell, more precious than gold.

Back home they went, with the chuckling treat, Sharing the jokes, oh so complete! The sweetest laugh ever, light and free, Came from the chocolate, and the child, and me!
