Where does the chocolate journey
begin?
By M. Membrino (Year 8)
In the rainforest, atop the highest trees, A cocoa
pod grows, among branches and leaves.
On the highest branches it, ripens in the sun, Until
a cocoa farmer comes along.
He knocks it down and collects it in a basket, And
splits it open and pours out the beans inside it.
In a cage of leaves, they are left to ferment, Then to
dry in the sun, until the farmer is content.
Now the beans are ready to sell,
Put into a sack and treated well.
Walking many hours, to the collection area, The
officer checks the beans and pays a price very fair.
Every few days, a truck with no fear,
Picks up the cocoa and takes it to a city most near.
A dangerous journey, on a muddy road, Especially
with the truck’s heavy load.
The beans are shipped overseas, to a pier on land,
And taken to a factory, giant and grand.
They are made into chocolate, which tastes very
Delicious chocolate that keeps you going
It never lets your taste buds down
Vacation food
Ingredients pushed the limits of greatness
Now get your own and relax
Enjoy it before it is all gone
