Sir Frederik the Wise

Many, many years ago in the great land of the Schweiz
There lived an old man who went by the name of Sir Frederik the Wise,

His dream, simple though it seemed
Was to build a giant castle with a chocolate theme!

And so it began, chocolate arrived by day and by night
Flavors a plenty there were, yet for Frederik, the favorite was white.

The cocoa bricks were pieced together and carried ton by ton
Until finally one day, months had passed, the masterpiece was done.

Hot Chocolate was brewed in gallons and painted on the walls
They paved the floor with semi-sweet chips, and dark chocolate filled the halls.

But sadly for Sir Frederik the Wise, one thing was just not right:
The old man forgot that chocolate melts in scorching sunlight!

In horror he watched his castle melt, his eyes glazed with tears
For Sir Frederik witnessed his foolishness and all his wasted years.

He neglected his rightful duties as his land’s man of vision
He wondered if his subjects would forgive his passion

So to apologize for all the silly things that he had ever done
He gave out pieces of his melted castle to each and everyone.
