Oh the cookie
what an offering
A special treat until it's not
Bitemarks into it
aspiring progression
Yet the main meal is not finished
The chocolate chip
all mouths long for
"The cookie" screams the four year old
Plump and screaming from his high chair
like all adults of today
searching for sweetness before eating the dreaded casserole
Why the curious mind baits
Lazy vice of course
Baked dough chocolate throughout
In that hard to reach jar on the top shelf
Far up the wall
small hands reach for it
like little antennas
Casserole sits uneaten fearing
Something sweet will spoil their dinners
