Celebrate Chocolate and Limericks

Celebrate the Small Things: Chocolate and Limericks

10/28/2016

Let's celebrate the small things: Today is National Chocolate Day!

I'm also celebrating a limerick that a young reader wrote about Black Flowers, White Lies. SPOILER ALERT! Scroll past this if you haven't read the story!

Celebrate the Small Things is a blog hop hosted by Lexa Cain, L.G. Keltner, and Tonja Drecker.

Do you love limericks? How about chocolate?

I can't celebrate National Chocolate Day because I can't eat chocolate anymore. *sobs*

National chocolate day!?! Why did no one tell me (until it was over)?

I think you can celebrate retroactively, Liz!

You have a National Chocolate Day???? Go on - share - what chocolate bar did you eat then? Great limerick and yes I've always liked them - they are just so catchy and lovely to teach to young children :) Enjoy your weekend! <a href=http://pempispalace.blogspot.com/>Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace</a>

Lindt's chocolate with sea salt is my favorite. :)

I do love limericks and that was a great one!!! (And, of course, I love chocolate. Every day should be National Chocolate Day, I think!)

I agree, Stephanie!

How did I miss National Chocolate Day? I'm making sure that makes it on my calendar for next year!

Oh, oh, oh! That's what I get for being late this week! I totally missed chocolate day. *sigh* Guess I'm going to have to post-celebrate!

I, too, <3 chocolate and limericks. Clever of your young reader to write one. I didn't know about National Chocolate Day until the next day, but then remembered I'd had a rare peanut butter cup, so I'm all set. One of my recent favorites is chunks of ginger coated in dark chocolate--very yummy!

That sounds delicious, Marcia!

I wish I didn't love chocolate so much. I'm not sure if it's the chocolate or the sugar that I'm addicted to. Probably both!

And if it's salted chocolate, that's the perfect combination for me!

Ah!! I love the limerick. So clever!

Even though it's no longer chocolate day, I think I'm going to celebrate anyway, and then I'll have some cheese. Mmm.
