I heard a little Wispa
There’s a rumour going about
That Cadbury’s chocolate production
Has had a little Time Out
They have moved across the water
To give their sales a Boost
But the chocolate’s taste is different
And the bar size is reduced.
The Fudge was once a ‘finger’
Is now more like a toe
The chunky Double Decker
Has let the top deck go!
Caramel is missing a piece
Whole Nut is more like half
The Flake would now be finished
Before you even ran the bath!
Dairy Milk has dwindled
And so has Turkish Delight
Poor Crème Egg is beaten
And Fry’s Chocolate Cream is not right!
I think you should consider
Giving back the large sized bars
To keep the customer happy
Or they’ll defect to Mars!
I agree, I agree, I agree!!!! Let’s start a revolution! 😉

Just what I needed to read and lol. It is wonderfully written, very Enid Blytonish, if I may say so.
As an aside, did it take you long to write ?

Thank you so much. That is praise indeed as I loved Enid Blyton as a child. It took about half an hour to write. 🙂

Thanks Hugh Roberts for sharing on Google+ Chocolate all ready tastes great so Cadbury should leave the recipe well alone… Edwina’s Episodes ode to the chocolate delight.

Ha! This is really funny, not to mention clever and also accurate. Unfortunately it’s left me with a craving for chocolate….oh well – the diet, as always, starts on Monday.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
