The Cookie Thief
A women was waiting at an airport one night,
with several long hours before her flight.
She hunted for a book in the airport shops.
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see,
that man sitting beside her, as bold as could be
grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between,
which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.
So she munched the cookies and watched the clock,
as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice I’d blacken his eye.”
With each cookie she took, he took one too,
When only one was left, she wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh
He took the cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half, as he ate the other
She snatched it from him and thought…oooh, brother.
This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude
Why, he didn’t even show any gratitude!
She had never known when she had been so galled
And sighed with relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate
Refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate.
She boarded the plane, and sank into her seat
Then she sought her book, which was almost complete
As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise,
There was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes.
If mine are here, she moaned in despair,
The others were his, and he tried to share.
To late to apologize, she realised with grief
that she was the rude, the ingrate, the thief
How many times in our lives have we absolutely known
that something was a certain way,
only to discover later that what we believed to be true.
Was Not…
