Struggling With Pride This Morning

Y'day was a great day as we wrapped up our Global Outreach Conference. Our international lunch featured many wonderful dishes... the dessert table included my own "Columbian Hot Chocolate". This is where the pride comes in... i'm sure many of the dishes were enjoyed my many... i'm not sure how many inspired poetic works. Mine did:

Hot chocolate smooth and creamy!
'Tis rare to find such a sweet
Concoction for to free me
From baser flavors (of meat
And rice and chicken). If I
Possess'd the knack of Pendley
To blend cocoa as he, my
Life would change most splendidly.
For who can imagine a world so graced,
When of Pendley's Columbian they taste?
