Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies

Dont ask me where this came from....i was sitting down and it just came out. funny how i havent been moved to write the "other" four hundred pieces going through my head but this could this....oh yea, this is a rough draft!!



my dearest Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies
once again,our time together is done
as you fade away for another year
i shall forever savor the taste
of the last crumb
of the last bite
of the last cookie
that lasted only seconds
once the sweetness was placed
into the black hole of my mouth
awaking sleeping taste buds
from dreams of green boxes filled with
Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies
doom was inevitable
here, cookies come in but dont come out
well, at least NOT the way they entered

forgive me, for having a ravines appetite
when it come to the chocolate goodness
that is you, the Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookie
let Mike McGee, have his chocolate pudding
you, my little treasure in the emerald green box
are the delectable addiction, one refuses to kick
it matters not
the pounds you add to my midsection
the teeth your consumption causes to rot
or the time spent in the bathroom, when i should be working
never mind the nine dollars used to purchase the
three extra boxes of you
were originally meant for my gas tank
for i would gladly be stranded on a desolate stretch of highway
as long as im assured of the comforting taste of you

i quiver with the delight of a child awaiting Christmas,
just thinking about you and i alone
comforting each other
i find myself staring lovingly at the cookies cradled in my palms
as if they, the Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies
were the holy grail....of cookies
as if by somehow ingesting you
the answers to life's questions will be revealed
with each crunch
i would know WHY, the earth rotates
why grass is green and the sky blue
instead of the other way around
i would know WHY, all the great religions are divided
even though they REALLY believe in the same God
i would know WHY, some actually believe little Wayne
to be a great MC
for the reason of this madness, escapes me

There is no remorse for the thoughts,
lingering in my heart
to take your ingredients, to a third world country
where poorly paid laborers, would work from sunrise to sunset
to create you my version of you,
a bootleg version of the Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookie
just as long as i could consume that
circular disc of chocolate coated mint bliss
causing my eye to fill with the dew of desire
tongue to drip with the saliva of anticipation
at the expectation of tasting you
my desire shall not wane, even as my shadow expands
from a thin Copasetic Soul to a Copasetic Soul version of a bloated Elvis

Once a year, is not enough time for us to be together
the depths of our relationship is never fulfilled
finding ecstacy is but a mere fleeting fantasy of want
I have no regrets, you offered a soothing month of peace
to the great 'taste buds, stomach war"
i know that if Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies had been available,
George Bush, would not have sought a war
terror alert levels would have been at their lowest level, chocolate
and CEO's would find their bottom lines to be fine,
ending the outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries
I believe with all my heart,
it is NOT the much maligned Illuminati seeking world domination
Its is the sinister, seemingly innocent, organization called The Girl Scouts
for only someone truly evil would offer a people a taste of heaven
through a cookie, sold in a green box one month out of a year
