Happy Birthday Worki, Mom....Judith Ashley says it best in this ode to chocolate, my birthday gift to you.

----------------------------------

"How I have waited for your appearance.

With muted

sighs and a

welcoming smile

I place you within

my waiting mouth.

O sweet brown and lovely velvet that clings to my lips

and sweeps past

the

sensitive and waiting buds upon my tongue!

Can you be so sweet and lovely and yet such a quiet

demon as to rule

the

desires of my heart!!???

Nay! The quietness is no longer!!

You speak!

You

call my name!

I

belong to you,

I surrender,

I long for your arrival.

I

consume your very

image

with my mind.

I shall go down into the dark abyss of the sea of fat

with your name on

my

lips......

CHOCOLATE!! OH CHOCOLATE!!"
