 Christmas Cookies

We are Christmas cookies and we

Be baked early on Christmas morn.

Awesome aroma of us be

Through all the household air be borne.

Of course the bakers guard us well

In the kitchen until time to

Be more than just a tempting smell,

But do duty we're meant to do,

And be picked up at a quick pace

By fingers into mouths to feed,

Celebrating in time and place

A Merry Christmas, yes indeed.

We, a short time phenomenon,

Here Christmas day and same day gone.
