If your mother asks you
To bake some cookies,
Don’t worry and fret
If you’re only a rookie.

Just shower
On the all-purpose flour,
Spoon an iota
Of baking soda,
And clutter on the butter,
But if you forget the salt,
It’s all your fault!

Just add chunks of sugar
The size of boogers,
Don’t have to be exact
With the vanilla extract.
Just drop a tad,
And drip
In some chocolate chips
But don’t toss in those shells!
Just the eggs themselves.

Then, let them bake
For minutes eight.
When you take them out,
Throw one into your mouth.
Don’t spit it out!
If it tastes bad,
Don’t feel sad!
Try again,
My dear friend.
