Chocolate's Power

The answer for me is never chocolate.
I know, for I applied it liberally
more than half-a-hundred years,
it failing to deliver one iota of comfort
of any lasting sense, as some lalent legacy.
Instead I learned how miserably
the drastically altered little bean
can harm me, numb me, isolate me,
discomfit me, engorge me, sicken me.
Through it all despite my sufferance
one richly worthy lesson stands preeminent:
Whatever the question or issue may be
I can without a thought or passing glance
rule out chocolate as contributing
a shred to the proper resolution.
