Frogs & Cookies
Couldn't the batter be flatter?
At the age of six, chocolate cookies are what my grandma gave me.
After hunting frogs, in the bog behind her house, getting a cookie is what we agree.
I'm seven-years-old now.
Am I such a rookie, all I get is a chocolate chip cookie?
Couldn’t the batter be flatter? Oatmeal might be nice.
Halloween can be spooky. Give me a pumpkin cookie!
The ginger spice is near. It's a chilly time of year!
Do I need an upside down cake? I know you ain't got time to bake. Brownies are nice! Even if you buy them at a really low price.
Piggly-wiggly isn’t far. Going there will keep grandpa away from the bar!
Now I’m 46. All I want is a chocolate chip cookie.
I don’t need other goodies, just grandma and her cookies.

I baked upside down cake back in the day, maybe I should try it again. I do not like chocolate chips, I love chocolate and corn chips. But yep, i see your point. If my grandma had baked them, I would have loved them.
I’m a huge fan of chocolate chip cookies, unfortunately I have to make them with carob chips since I can’t have caffeine. Loved your poem!
Makes you want cookies.
Well this took me back
Well written Scott, that one hits hard.
Awww, this was so nostalgic! Loved your poem so much!
sentimental snacks are the best--made with love
