HOME MADE COOKIES

She handed me a couple of cookies
They were chocolate-chip
They are burned on one side
I tried one and it wasn’t bad
I finished it and had the other
During the night I got up
Looked through the cookie bag
Found five more burned ones
And one that was perfect
The next morning I caught hell
For eating all the cookies
I complimented her by saying
That the one not burned was
Just as good as the burnt ones
You are not supposed to eat them 
All at one time, she said
But they were good and I
Did leave most of the unburned 
Ones in the bag for you
She just looked at me
I asked her if she could make
Some oatmeal-raison next
She looked at me and said no
I’ll have to buy some at Jack’s
