Cookie

Mommy?
Can I have a cookie?
It won't spoil my dinner.
I promise to eat what's on my plate.

Mommy?
Just one more cookie.
It would make me happy.
I'll tell all my friends that you are great.

	I know I'm allowed only two
	But please, I am begging you.
	I'm asking nicely, this is not a whine.
	Just one more cookie'd be fine.

		A cookie!

Mommy?
You sure look pretty.
Is that a new outfit?
I don't think I've seen it before.
	
Mommy?
You know that I love you.
Oh, please, one more cookie
And I will not ask for any more.

	I know you've already said no
	But I hope it's not set in stone.
	Maybe you could change your mind
	Just one more cookie'd be fine.

		A cookie!
