The Cookie Monster Murder

When I went to bed that night I didn't feel quite right Tossed and turned, tried to sleep with all my might I thought the upset might be from the cookie dough I ate Baking chocolate chip cookies until well after eight Finally I fell into a very deep and troubled sleep From my subconscious crazy thoughts began to creep In the kitchen a huge and terrifying cookie burglar stood Stuffing in his mouth as many cookies as he could Crumbs were scattered on the floor and everywhere Fury burst inside me and I started to cuss and swear I grabbed an old curtain rod and bopped him on the head And much to my surprise-.that cookie monster fell down dead About that time I awoke with a loud and frantic scream Thank goodness, the whole thing was just a silly dream I really don't think I could ever murder any one at all But that old curtain rod is standing there against the wall.... You Never Know...................... All in fun for the Murderous Thoughts Contest Part of this is true..I did dream of the Cookie Monster Barbara Gorelick
