The luscious dark cookies with
aroma and flavour of drak chocolate
in every crust of delicious biscuit
and with sumptuous vanilla cream
bracketed or sandwiched in between
are secret fantasy or desire incarnate
for every child harbouring a sweet tooth
a temptation, a treat to starving palate
and every smart mother or nanny knows
the secret of chocolate weakness
and when the mammoth task
of feeding an adamant child
a glass of milk, the daily mandatory ration
sneers on the face with stubborness
to yeild or grant aquiscence
then the bribe of chocolate and vanilla cookies
hidden in some dark corner of larder
away from prying eyes of mischief
comes to the rescue…
