Notes About The Poem

To my older sister, she would bake cookies and we ( actually just me )would eat them all, right out of the oven....Sorry Sis

Baking Cookies

How, I see you contemplating
Mixing stirring rolling shaking
And forever carefully taking 
Not to spill some on the floor

In the bowl you're tightly holding
With a spoon you're gently folding
And with both hands you start molding
Molding as you have before

Then to the oven, you will take it
And we'll wait while you now bake it 
But our eager eyes can't fake it
If we eat one we'll want more

As the sweet smell fills the rafters
You know what we are really after
With a loud but nervous laughter
You sweep us all right out the door

Ya'know.....I thought I've lived life, but until I have a mushroom cooked on top of a wood stove I find myself totally unprepared to meet my maker ....just yet. Thanks Mate

Hello Jerry T. Curtis, there is nothing like baked cookies coming out from the oven. It is better than store bought cookies. Have a nice day my friend, So nice to meet you.
