Ecuador born, to the world dispersed
Currency ancient, treat b’loved
Seed of the gods, bitter, sweet
Theobroma cacao
A staple well versed
Five thousand years
Chocolate
Has reigned
King
Bean
Cocoa
Fermented
Cultivar bless’d
Joy of all nations
White, ruby, to midnight dark
Beverage, spice, dessert, meal
And all the spectrum in between
O’ versatile seed, favorite snack
