A couple of weeks ago I made a batch of Chocolate Chip cookies that I had originally intended to bring to some of my friends. Well, I got busy and wasn't able to bring them to my friends when I had planned, so I had all these cookies just sitting out looking really delicious.
So, as I was rushing out to school, I would eat a couple for breakfast. When I came home for lunch I had a couple more. And then dinner time came and I just had to have another.
So the next day as I was driving to school (while eating a chocolate chip cookie, of course) I started thinking about how often I had eaten chocolate chip cookies, and my thoughts ended up in a rhyme. (They do that sometimes. I often think in rhymed couplets. It must be attributed to too much Dr. Suess as a child or something.) And then I even added a tune, but I don't now how to include the tune on my blog. Anyway, this was the by product of a bored mind with chocolate chip cookies on the brain:
I like chocolate chip cookies for breakfast,
I like chocolate chip cookies for lunch,
I like chocolate chip cookies for dinner,
and I eat 'em on Sunday for brunch.
I like chocolate chip cookies at midnight
I like chocolate chip cookies at noon
I like chocolate chip cookies in broad daylight
or under the light of the moon.
I like chocolate chip cookies with ice cream
I like chocolate chip cookies with milk
I like chocolate chip cookies in my flannel pajamas
or a nightgown made of silk!
Chocolate chip cookies! Chocolate chip cookies!
Chocolate chip cookies! I love you so! Yes I do!
Chocolate chip cookies! Chocolate chip cookies!
Oh chocolate chip cookies! To you I'm true!
Actually,I think that the reason you are making up a song about food comes as being in a family where there was little entertainment. So.. songs were always sung and made up to liven the mood and try to add some more excitement. Which, seemed to work because I have many a memory where there were impromptu musicals coming to play in the kitchen and it seemed eveyone knew their part and would come in at just the right time. Oh those childhood memories!
ReplyDeleteum, yeah, songs like "salsa, I love my salsa, I love my salsa, CON Cheeeps!"
