Press the dough hard,
Mama says,
It's not a kitten.

Roll it out smooth,
Mama says,
On the counter

Her instructions
Are very specific.

Because Mama knows
How to make real cookies.

Use these cutters,
Mana says,
We can make stars.

Now let me put them
Mama says,
On the pan.

When the oven is on
I watch the cookies
Turn golden brown.

For some odd reason
I am very happy
I don't hallucinate.
