Mama's makin' cookies.

"I wanna help!"

So pull up a chair to stand on yourself.

Little brother shows up

and helps me make

mountains of sugar,

houses of butter and sugar brown.

Then, like angels

we make weather on our little town.

Together we make it

rain

and pour

and see what else Mama has in store.

Like licking spoons

while we wait

wait

and wait

for it to bake.

The timer goes off!

Pour milk,

and eat our hard work.

Crumbly,

mumbly,

humbly cookies.

More's on the floor

than in our faces

but we don't care

because Mama made us cookies.
