Brownies for Breakfast - A Holiday Tale
I have a weakness
I'm afraid this is true
I just can not help it
I'll share it with you
Pre-Christmas treats saved
Are in kitchen right now
Waiting for Christmas
But I don't know how...
I can wait much longer
They beckon and call
They want to be eaten
Not just one, but them all!
The cookies, the tarts
Brownies, bars and the pie
Choc-o-late haystacks
They call but I'll try...
To wait. But I CAN'T
The feeling is strong
If I have one or two
What could go wrong?
I've just had my breakfast
My coffee was good
But one little treat
Will not hurt, but it could...
Open the window
To have several more
To the kitchen I go
Open up the fridge door
I pick up a brownie
It's cool and it's sweet
My mouth is in heaven
I eat it all, what a treat!
But now just a cookie
What harm could it do
I reach for the package
My hands stick like glue
And now I feel guilty
Committed a crime
I just couldn't wait
Until Christmas time
So - out comes the flour
The sugar and sauce
I must bake, once again
To replenish the loss
Only a few days are left
I think I'll get through
And maybe just eat
One more, or two!
