PoetryWritingOh dear cookies you’re sweet like
A morning taste of sunrise,
Your hot melted chocolate and
Brown crispy tenderness is
Like the light of my day,
You taste like a soft pancake
Made with chocolate and many more,
Oh the joy you bring me,
Pop you into the oven and heat you up
Warmer than hot chocolate,
And I pop you back out
And place you on my plate,
Oh cookie oh cookie
I began to drool,
you’re sweeter than a girl waiting for school,
Dear cookie, I love you
