Cookies for dinner,

That’s what I want.

Cookies for dinner,

Because life is so short.

I could eat potatoes or stew,

Or lentils and meat.

But then I’d be stuffed,

And there’s no room for sweets.

Plus my cookies have eggs ,

And they have flour and such.

Why they are practically bread,

So I’m nearly eating a lunch.

I don’t want a meal,

There’s no time to waste.

I’ll have dessert first,

Do you want a taste?
