Cookie Craving

A craving never satisfied,
a longing never gratified - 
will Cookie Monster's quest
be realized so he can rest?
The chances are remote.
He has no hole inside his throat.

That is so cute! You know what is rude in the cookie world? When one picks up a scrumptious looking chocolate chip cookie only to discover, it is raisins. I hate it when that happens.

I always go crazy trying to decide between oatmeal/raisin and chocolate chip. I always pick chocolate chip if it's a choice between the two.

Cookies on platters, I was ready to grip. So many of 'em were "chocolate chip".  Some of 'em were, with raisins, loaded.  The lady behind me, her face, decoded,spoiled all the fun, saying, "You can have but one" - but which?  That's when my head exploded.
