Fruitless Labors

Just try and stop me.

If I were human, like the rest

And not a chocolate bar

I'd go to town, so finely dressed

And park my fancy car

I'd walk the street, with gifts in hand

To offer you a token

Of what the chocolate bar was like

Before the bar was broken

I'd find your door, and there I'd knock

And we would finally meet

With disappointment in your eyes

Because I wasn't sweet.

So don't you question my M.O.

Or ask about my plan

Because I'd rather be a chocolate bar

Than a salty, aging man.

Well, this isn't the usual run of the mill chit chat you find on writerscafe... Uma Thurman almost said in Pulp Fiction, so A+ for that and yes, much better than being old, I do concur.
So much vanilla on here makes it a pleasant surprise to come across another flavour.
Not so much thinking outside the box, more akin to "what box?"
Look forward to reading more.

But, but. I am Scandinavian. I have salt on my salt....salt on chocolate, and with caramel...

And what they hey is wrong with an older man. Hmpf

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Nothing...
Chocolate is better, though.
It is known, Khalisi.

Salt is ok, as long as it's there to accentuate already delicious flavors.

This is cute. :)
I'd say sweet but it seems the chocolate is of the not sweet kind.

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

prone to bitterness, as it were?
LOL
a refined taste, to be sure.

I think that chocolate in its purest form is not at all sweet. I saw that on tv once. :)

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Yep. True. I used to mix pure cocoa with raw honey, when I was a chef.
Holy mother of perfect dessert drizzle...

[Papaya]

That sounds so good. :)
