The Cookie Monster  

A woman was waiting at an airport one night---
There were several long hours to wait for her flight.
She hunted for reading in the airport gift shop
Bought a big bag of cookies - found a place she could drop.

She was engrossed in her book, but she happened to see
A man sit beside her - as bold as could be.
He grabbed up a cookie from the bag in between
Which she tried to ignore, and not make a scene.

She munched at the cookies and glanced at the clock,
As the masculine cookie thief diminished her stock!
She got more irritated as the minutes ticked by
Thinking, "If I wasn't a lady, I'd blacken his eye!"

With each cookie she took, he took one or two.
So with only one left, she watched what he'd do.
With a grin on his face, and a sweet nervous laugh,
He took the last cookie and broke it in half!

He offered her half as he munched on the other.
She snatched it from him and muttered, "Oh brother!"
"This guy's got some nerve; he's also quite rude.
He never even showed a polite attitude."

She never had known when she'd been quite so galled.
And she sighed with relief when her flight - it was called.
She gathered her stuff and marched to the gate,
With not even a glance at the thieving ingrate!

She boarded the plane and sank in her seat,
Then sought out her book which was almost complete.
As she reached in her bag, she gasped with surprise.
HER bag of cookies was in front of her eyes!!!

"If MINE are right here," she moaned in despair,
"then the others were HIS, and he was trying to share!"
Too late to apologize, she realized with grief
That SHE was the rude one - the ingrate - the THIEF!!!

Now see there?  Didn't you smile?
