Burnt Bottom Cookies

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmMMMMMMMM!!!!!

 

                        Burnt Bottom Cookies

Sitting ‘round the breakfast bar

four women fresh from lunch.

I bound upstairs from afar

thoughts of what I’d munch.

Sure I thought, a peach or pear

perhaps a tangerine…

           

I said to all those in a row,

I’m starved beyond repair.

 

That pang I feel within my gut

is not my missing hair.

I want, I need, I have a hunch.

can’t anybody share?

 

Some burnt bottom cookies

the  girls exclaimed!!!

Chocolate chip or oatmeal,

the choice is surely yours.

 

Now, I like muffin tops

and love pistachios

any kind of fruit or wine

and always chocolate.

 

But burnt bottom cookies?

mmmm!! So tasty and devine.                      

Helped launch me into orbit,

and made my day so fine...

 

 

Author's Note

Allen has done something great here, written a genuinely funny and witty poem, it`s what ( I think) is one of the hardest things in literature, lots of irony here with the cookies !,- good work.

**smiles, thinks** 'Allen is a little cookie himself.' Thank you for a bright start to my day!

This is such a whimsical piece - but I have to confess my own paranoia that I've missed several layers of hidden meaning. But since you say it's just for fun, I will assume that the cookies are truly cookies. That being said I enjoyed this poem, your rhyme scheme was intriguing, bouncy in places and delightfully off-kilter in others... overall, your "just for fun" was very fun indeed.

Hmmm...Do the muffin tops go along with burnt bottoms? Imperfections that are just right somehow aren't imperfections any more. Clever, and can tug a smile from the sourest puss. Well done ;)

Gotta try those....
love the poem :D

[reflectingus]

Hahha, the poem is just as bittersweet as burnt bottom cookies would be, and I just loved every part of it. The rhyme scheme kept me hooked, and those little exclamations just made me realize the mutual craving we have for the yummy cookies, it's all funn. And ps- My cookies would always be burnt too :P

[rosemary keogh]

haha ah loved this. you expressed it so well and with good fun. love it.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is funny. Sometimes if we really are craving something sweet a burnt bottom cookie will do.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. When I baked cookie for my kids. Always were burnt bottom cookies. A very nice ending to a outstanding poem.
