Life’s a Batch of Cookies

Life’s a Batch of Cookies

That sweet lump of dough

You didn’t earn or deserve

But it’s yours, you know
 

Sitting there waiting

Choose the flavour that you like

Just right for making...
 

Tangy lemon drops 

Chunky, chewy, choc’lat chips

Spicy ginger snaps
 

Roll it and shape it

Possibilities galore

Cut it, then bake it...

Couldn’t ask for more

But careful now, don’t burn them

Bake to perfection
 

Fresh from the oven

A batch of tasty morsels

Enjoy them, share them
 

You choose what you make!

Whip up a big scrumptious bunch

Then share what you bake
 

There’s nothing like it

Life’s a big batch of cookies

Savour ev’ry crumb
