Cookies for All by Katrina Lybbert

Pinwheels, pumpkin, they're very good, it's true!

Cookies

Even the toughest cookies

c r u m b l e

Cookies

Dipped in milk

Or eaten plain

Chocolate like silk

Cookies & Cream;

Peanut butter

Nutter Butter

Oreo's

Who to blame

Sneaking in the night

Only for a bite

Sweet and touchy

Creamy and crunchy

Let the sugar rush come

Oh, now hand me a tum

Upset tummy

My nose is runny

What's this i hear?

I can't take sweets as I please?

Oh, come on...

You can't blame the cookies!
