Ode to Schluckwerder Marzipan

O marzipan, how I do love thee
soft and sweet almond paste that you are.
When covered in chocolate
a bite is bliss
The gold foil wrapping tells
that you are no ordinary candy.
Your German inscriptions
a sign of your quality and origin.
A serving is said to be half a loaf
(yes loaf!)
but there is still more joy in savoring bites day by day.
