Plain Hobnobbing

What a wonderful job to consume a Hobnob

I could definitely stay after hours

With silky smooth chocolate, a temptress for sure

Such a sumptuous treat to devour

The dark chocolate robe belies what's below

This cookie's quite hardcore, not all is on show

She's crumbly and crunchy and tangles with your teeth

She's good news for the dentist. That's our belief

The light, the dark and the plain

You may find milk chocolate digestives

so crunchy and crumbly and such a treat,

but to me their taste simply gives

a sense of excess. They are just too sweet.

But by contrast, I shall always desire

the more subtle plain chocolate digestive,

its dark and bitter and velvet attire,

its demeanour so suave and suggestive.
