I don't want the cookie
I don't know why I took the cookie
I already ate too many cookies
I can feel the sugar jacking my blood pressure
I don't mind the occasional jacked up blood pressure
when it's for the right reasons
but a cookie isn't a good enough reason
not for me
Why did I take this damn cookie?
There it sits on my desk
uneaten, unwanted, leaving a greasy spot
I can't make myself throw the cookie away
But people will be unhappy if I go put it back
Who wants a cookie someone else touched?
I'm stuck with this damn cookie
It's a good cookie, tasty enough
I just don't want any more cookies.
Someone come eat this cookie
and get it off my desk.
