When the Cookie Crumbles

When the cookie crumbles
And everything goes wrong
It’s time to make some changes
And sing another song



Just lift yourself backup
And dust yourself down
Watching all those cares
Just falling to the ground



It maybe crunch time
You’ve made a new choice
Now just listen very carefully 
To your still inner voice



Because when the music playing
And you’re not in tune
It might be telling you something
Something special waiting for you



So when the cookie crumbles
And it’s time to move along
Don’t be scared of the future
Just sing a brand new song

Such a cool poem, Kevin. I love the perseverance spirit you evoke in this wonderful ditty. Had me humming an old Michael Franks song in my head as I was reading, "When the Cookie Jar is Empty." Nice flow and bounce this poem has. Love it. Pure 7 up. Love and joy to you.
