Animal Crackers and Cocoa to Drink


















































 





















Animal Crackers
by Christopher Morley

Animal Crackers and Cocoa to drink

That is the finest of suppers, I think,

When I am grown up and can have what I please, 

I think I will  always insist upon these.

What do you do when you're offered a treat?

When Mother says, "what would you like best to eat?"

Is it waffles and syrup, or cinnamon toast?

It's cocoa and animals I love the most!

The kitchen's the coziest place that I know:

The kettle is singing, the stove is aglow,

And there in the twilight, how jolly to see

The cocoa and animals waiting for me.

  1. This post puts a smile on my face. :) I am very familiar with that poem, but I did NOT know the last 4 lines! Now I like it even more. :)

    I've never made animal crackers, but maybe I will someday... :)
