The Cookie Curse

The COokiE CuRse
Written By: Carly (and family)



Looky, looky! There's some cookies on the counter top!
Yummy, yummy in my tummy! I don't want to stop!
Goody, goody! I'm so full I think I'm going to pop!
Some are flat. Some are round.
Ooops! One fell on the ground!
Five second rule. I pick it up.
This one's like a hocky puck.
I don't eat that one, I choose another.
I give that one to my brother!
As he chews, I look at him.
My little secret makes me grin.
As I eat my cookie, he starts laughing too.
It makes me wonder -what did he do?
I grow suspicious and I inspect my treat.
Is my cookie clean to eat?
My brother giggles and runs away...
Darn! I guess the joke's on me today!
Remember what goes around comes around,
So eat your own cookie if it falls on the ground!
When you play mean tricks, you will be cursed,
And what happens to you just might be worse!


When we drive to Grandma and Grandpa's house, it's an hour drive each direction. We have been trying to come up with simple games and activities to do on the way to fill our time. On one particular trip, Carly wanted to write a poem. This is what we came up with.
