If You Like Them That Much You Should Have Married One!
When you said COOKIES!
I thought you were offering
but you ate them all
Scattering crumbs
with your NUM NUM NUMS
and making a mess
all over the damn floor
Which - by the way
I've just vacuumed
My mother warned me
you were a MONSTER!
But did I listen?
