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