Updated: September 2026<\/em><\/p>\n

A poem about chocolate fits on any card, in any speech and any occasion \u2013 here are three: an ode, a verse to make you smile and four lines for a birthday. All three are free to pass on. And because we emboss logos into chocolate in D\u00fcsseldorf, the end of the page lists the occasions where chocolate works best.<\/p>\n

An Ode to Chocolate<\/h2>\n
\n

You come as bar, as heart, as star,
in milk or dark \u2013 we love you as you are.
You break with a snap, you melt so slow,
one square of you and worries go.
You carry a logo, carry a name,
you travel as a greeting, never the same.
You say “thank you”, you say “welcome”,
you’ve won the hearts where words won’t come.
At trade fairs, parties, year-end time,
you are the gift that needs no rhyme.
One piece of you, a moment shared \u2013
and business shows that someone cared.
Oh chocolate, sweet and plain:
for every occasion, you remain.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A chocolate poem to make you smile<\/h2>\n
\n

I meant to be good today, I swear:
just apples, water and fresh air.
Then there it lay, a bar, brand new \u2013
I kept my promise. To it. Not to you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Four lines for a birthday<\/h2>\n
\n

Happy birthday: joy and health,
time and sunshine, modest wealth,
friends and laughter, calm and cheer \u2013
and chocolate. That’s the year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

All three poems were written by Schokologo and may be used freely for cards, speeches and greetings \u2013 a mention of schokologo.com is welcome, not required.<\/p>\n

Chocolate for every occasion<\/h2>\n

A poem works twice as well with chocolate beside it \u2013 embossed with your logo, made of Belgian Callebaut chocolate in our D\u00fcsseldorf manufactory. The occasions where it works best:<\/p>\n
