Cookie Poem

Cookies!

Your dinner is done, but you need more to eat,

So you look ‘round the kitchen in search of a treat

You have had a tough day, and you’re in a bad mood

So you need a big hug in the form of a food

You don’t want to wash dishes, or get out a plate

And yeah, you could drink coffee, but it’s a bit late

Yes, you need a dessert that surpasses the rest

A delightful confection; yes you want the best!

So you open the cupboard, and move things around

There it is! This is perfect! A cookie, you’ve found!

Yes, this is just the thing that will make you feel great

While you’re eating a cookie, your problems can wait

If you go to a wedding, you have to eat cake

At a pot-luck, you’re stuck with whatever folks take

And when it’s Halloween time, you have to eat candy

And who cares at a bonfire? Everything’s sandy!

But if you need a snack any day of the year

Dependable cookies will always be near

Just some sugar and flour, then bake at three-fifty

Though it’s not much work, the results are quite nifty

People break them in half so they will not get fat

But one cookie won’t hurt you, so please don’t do that!

Whether chocolate or oatmeal, they won’t go to waste

Because there is a cookie for everyone’s taste!

So the next time you’re raiding the kitchen at night

(Oh no, don’t even bother to turn on the light)

Just reach for the cookies, and you’ll be ok

Well, as long as you went to the gym yesterday…
