Skin as Dark as Chocolate
There once was a beautiful queen
She had skin like honey,
eyes like emerald,
and hair as big as cotton candy.
She was so beautiful
and kings traveled far and wide to make her their bride.
They brought extravagant gifts,
gold and silver and the finest silks.
None of this impressed the queen,
for she had a rich love of music.
One day, a poor beggar man came to the doors of the castle
On this particular day the queen was not in the mood
for gifts or for empty sweet talk
Just as the guards were sending him out he yelled,
"My queen I have a song for you!"
The queen was intrigued,
The beggar came in and sang the sweetest song that had ever touched her eyes
Then he gave her a piece of dark chocolate
It was the most delicious thing she'd ever tasted
She fell in love with him right there on the spot
They were married and the queen wished for a daughter
With skin as dark as chocolate and a voice as pretty as her father's
Not long after, a baby was born
Her name was Sweet Candy
