Chocolate the Brave
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
Armed with a majestic chocolate coat
Adorning a well built, furry frame
With bushy tail and golden paw
Whence he stepped, he conquered, he came
A puppy, bright blue eyes explored
Around him a world, sunny and bright
Cheerful, the world his oyster
A whimper ‘round him the world would light
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
Youth, fierce and tenacious
The Scourge of dogs and domestic help
Leading his pack into glorious conquest
All who challenged he would but welp
An empire he constructed
And undoubtedly, the emperor he
Conquered a territory perhaps
Of extent no one did foresee.
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
Yet alone, our brave prince could not
Hope to keep this world his own
Thus, came his Queen – beautiful and wise
And together their lands they would roam.
Yet all was not rosy for our King
For like all tales, had too this tale
A baddie, a miscreant, a villain
No, he said, the king I shan’t hail.
A dark coat, a face with nary a smile
A tail unwagged, and tread slow
Oh, throughout our villain and king
Would strike one another many a blow.
And once, a careless motor car
Trampled the foot of our king so strong
But limp or not, Chocolate the Brave
Would wag his tail, oh all along.
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
The years go by, and one fine day
The heavens, for his Queen sent
And in loneliness and desolation
The days of our fine king went.
But ever the fighter, never to give up
The king and his daughter, this team
Would once again roam the land
And not let fall this old regime.
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
Yet the universal forces of time
Stop for no one, nay the king
And so, this era would come to wane
A song creakier hinges would sing.
Soon the borders, they begin to shrink
But an unlikely ally the king soon found
The once fierce villain, who too grew old
Would help the king his way around.
An unlikely alliance, marred with skirmish
And our king, he settled for second place
His voice meeker but the tenacity unchanged
He still strode with pride and grace.
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
Alas, the villain, he grew too weak
And left the king for his new abode
At last the king, he accepted the fate
That his great empire would now erode.
Through wagging tongues, the villain’s doom
Was heard of by all, far and near
“Is it true, is he now weak,
The king we once used to fear?”
So, set off a company of villains
To end the king, they much so hate
At night they struck; the king escaped
But tired, injured, it was too late.
But a warrior forever, the brave king
Nay go down without a fight
And fought he did, till breath his last
Against the dying of the light.
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
Ask you may, who am I
To tell the tale of Chocolate the Brave
Just a boy, a poet, a friend
A friend of whom they used to rave.
Together we ran, we ate, we sang
Together we shared our hopes and joy
And to tell you the truth, prepared am not
To live without my Chocolate boy.
But in life and death, the king
Has endowed a lesson for life
Live to the fullest, live with pride
And never give up without a strife.
This is the tale of Chocolate the Brave
‘Bout his might they all would rave
In loving memory of Chocolate the Brave.
We miss you Chocolate.....
