cookies

The cookies on the countertop are calling my name.
"Eat us! Eat us!" they cry out sweetly.
"No! I don't want you! I'm not hungry! Go away!"
"We will if you eat us!" they respond.
"I want to be good! I don't want to gain weight! I don't want to add unnecessary sugar to my body!"
"But we taste so good! We make your coffeetime special!"
"Get behind me, foul tempters! Spawns of Satan! Full of peanut butter, chocolate, and ginger! With dark brown sugar and melted chocolate, baked fresh in my oven...oh yum...."
I concede defeat.
