Baking Cookies
I made the dough and let it set
For hours in the fridge,
Then rolled it out and cut the shapes
And added just a smidge
Of colored sugar on the tops.
Then while one batch was baking,
I started on another,
An enormous undertaking.
In fact, as time ticked by I felt
Exhausted; you may laugh
Because I had four balls of dough,
But only finished half.
My stopping in the middle really
Wasn’t a mistake,
For baking when you’re older means
You’ve gotta take a break!
