Check out Charlie and the Chocolate factory. The Oompa Loompas had great poems/songs. You may get ideas from there.

Chocolate is great,
Chocolate is yum,
I’m so glad it’s Purim,
Chocolate, here I come.

I hope you enjoy
This chocolate too
It’s to bring Purim cheer
From us to you.

Happy Purim from the Blanks!

If you want a specific idea or line included in a different poem, let me know. This is one is a little silly.
Happy Purim from me, too!

The poem is great. Last night I was thinking about something like, instead of alcohol eat chocolate, as in chocaholics and not alcoholics. I have small bottles of alcohol I can include in the shalach manos. I don't know if any cute poems can come from that, since I am hopeless when it comes to poems. Thanks for you help. It is really appreciated.

I thought you meant those poems with the name of popular chocolate bars as lines in the poem. I've seen it done before in really adorable ways, but I'm drawing a total blank now.

Something like "Hope your day is '100 grand' and you don't end up in 'Mars'".

Obviously that makes zero sense, I was just giving an illustrative example.

The problem with that would be that all the bars in my shalach manos are cholov yisroel and a lot of people I'm giving to don't know the names of the non cholov yisroel bars out there, so they wouldn't get it.

Maybe check out the prayer said at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and adapt it for chocolate and purim. Probably wouldn't be that hard, and it's a prayer so it's a nice wish for whomever you are giving mishloach manos to!

Cute poems can come from anything - it just takes a few minutes.

Haman or Mordechai,
Can you tell the diff?
It really is Purim,
And what do we whiff?
It's chocolate I smell -
No alcohol here!
To all chocoholics,
We wish you good cheer.

Happy Purim to all imamother readers!!
