Oreos

eating oreos
if you like the creme center
unscrew the cookie

crunching oreos
feeling famished, just dive in
chocolatey chewing

extracting filling
detach the white from the brown
eat the frosting first

Actually, detach the white from the black, according to Russian wiki, but it sounds a bit racist) Anyway, I do agree: eat the frosting first ^____^ Love you haiku, John.

I knew a poem about oreos could seem racial, but the poem is super simple. I remember being eight years old and we would discuss the different ways of eating oreos.
