Yummy Cookies  by Devin Ens

 

Living in a doll’s house

Makes you feel small

Like a little mousey

Crawling on the wall

Outside of your window

Is a world of mime

You garden couch potatoes

And to pass the time,

 

You make yummy, you make yummy

You make yummy cookies

 

Bake away your boredom

Bottle up your dream

Put it in a waffle

Top it with whipped cream

Like a knife on granite

Your life is getting dull

You’ve overcooked the muffins

They’re burning in your skull

 

You make yummy, you make yummy

You make yummy cookies

 

When you need, you knead your dough

Try to feed what you can’t show

 

Last time I was over

I ate your butter tarts

It felt like I was having

Pieces of your heart

The care with which you cook your

Sweet banana bread

I wonder if the cookies

Are crumbling on your bed

 

You make yummy, you make yummy

You make yummy cookies

Yummy cookies.
