If you were made of chocolate
would you eat yourself?
Or be dressed in silver paper
on the sweetshop shelf?

Would you have a crunchy middle
or be filled with fudge toffee?
Would you have a special offer price
give ten per cent more free?

Would you be long and thin and flaky
or chunky in a bar
or sweet and sticky pieces
filling up a jar?

If you were made of chocolate
would you be nibbled bit by bit
Or stuffed into a mouth in one huge go?
(Your mum would have a fit!)

If you were made of chocolate
you’d have to mind the sun
and if your friends got hungry, well –
it wouldn’t be much fun!

If you were made of chocolate
would you eat yourself?
Or would you sit forever
on life’s dusty sweetshop shelf?
