Chocolate Robbery

Chocolate Robbery

By: Lejla Ćatović 

You know Dave Chappelle

Has a bit about a homeless man

Who breaks into his car to steal a candy bar. 

The story begins at midday.

The setting: A broken car window, the missing Milky Way.

In emotional crescendo, Dave growls full of wrath, 

"Who would dare steal my chocolate? No doubt a psychopath!"

Unceremoniously, he decides to investigate.

But the search leads to shady alleyways

Tearing open figurative floodgates.

Historic turmoil coils his guts:

A montage of memories, 

A suppression of doubts.

Recalling zen teachings,

He probes his inner feelings, 

And finds in this conviction,

He’s ready to search until the next mass extinction, 

Or at least, until he’s found a worthy person to question. 

At last! 

A suspect! 

And an agile approach!

He leaps in ambush toward the human-roach! 

Examining his features with eyebrows raised:

Dave asks:

“Whats with all this chocolate on your face”

The man is not afraid but recoils anyway,

A bit bewildered and incredulously,

responds:

“This ain’t Chocolate - This is doo doo baby”
