A Tale of Dinner Time Preparations

Twas nigh unto dinner, and I was busy in the kitchen.
The rest of the house? Let’s not talk about condition…
Busy chopping up broccoli, onions and more
Must provide healthy meals, with fiber galore!
Earlier in the day, we had run all about
“Playdate at the park!” our son said with a shout
While out with the car, trying to be thrifty
I stopped at the store to pick up food that was nifty
You see, I am making a yummy dessert for the weekend
Involving chocolate cookies, so healthy rules will be bent
But while at the stove, stirring up the great dinner
The sneaky young kids had a plan, a sure winner
“Let’s grab the cookies and run, we surely can trick her -
We’ll chomp them right down, and lick the cream centers”
So what to the angry mommy’s eyes did appear?
Two little thieves, whose faces soon filled with fear…
For they knew they’d been found and their feast was all through
As for Monday’s dessert? Well, who knows what I’ll do!
