Cookie monster was in a foul mood She’d found something so bad on her food A black and white turd Produced by big bird When she saw him she said something lewd! Cookie Monster was curt and concise She don’t give folks impartial advice My word what a bore Her word is the law I don’t think she is really that nice 04~16~17 Inspired by limerick collaboration by Lin Lane

Good morning Jan! I did read this ... with trepidation. "Not at all "lewd,"/So I am not screwed,/ For saying I am for Jesus,/ Limericking with ribald unbelievers,/Heck, Jan, I'm in an unbelievably good mood!" Love,Shalom, Hugs, but no cookies! Anil

Sounds like that cookie monster has a big chocolate chip on her shoulder. I'm thinking the Big Bird garnish might have been intentional. :) Fun one Jan

Oh my, 'cookie monster' became 'female' to really show her displeasure ...as only a 'woman' can when she is 'crossed':) Fantastic, creative writing Jan:) I am really enjoying your adult version of 'the muppets'! Definitely a new smash hit series for you, very well done:)

lol Jan. Big bird is kinda flighty. So now Big Bird AND Cookie Monster are possibly transgender?

Jan Allison
Date: 4/16/2017 12:07:00 PM

i was researching for the poem and read an article on big bird being transgender so I thought I could have poetic licence and make cookie monster female too lol:-) thanks again for the inspiration:-) hugs jan xx
