Sweet chips of cocoa and baked dough;

of these ingredients, I’m not a rookie.

But, blast! the tantalizing, infectious allure:

this thing we call – a cookie.

Too great an affection for these, I’ve learned

Can make one become, well, fat;

So, pursue the famed ti shrub, my friend,

The one that we call, Pat.
