COOKIE QUESTION
Do you want a cookie?
I was unsure just what to say
My Mother’s simple question
Was not, no how, no way
The answer I should give
That any kid would say for sure
“Yes, I would, yes please I would
It has to be a lure
Tricky trick to trick me
Make me admit to what I’d done
She has to know, there’s no doubt
It’s me, I am the one
That’s been sneaking cookies
I just can’t help it, they’re too good
I know there’s no good reason
I should admit, I should
Mom says that she loves me
Just take one, there will be no doom
-BUT-
I’ve eaten so many cookies
I just don’t have the room
I do this sometimes even though I'm all grown up. I'll sneak, or should I say snack on, so many cookies during the day that when my wife offers me a cookie I usually stuff it down so she doesn't know I'm already stuffed.
