Not a happy ending

 

Having survived to adulthood I find I can attend to the cookie jar at will.  Be it previous to a meal, so be it.  I shan’t spoil my appetite as so vehemently proclaimed by elders during my youth.  “Watch out wind, for I toss caution in your direction.”

Ah, but alas, I am here but find no cookies.  Neigh a chocolate chip, nor Pecan Sandy.  Not crumb to peck or fragrance be of oatmeal raisin or sugar.  Void is my jar, and so hollow is my life.  I am morose.  What good to be grown and sound of mind if someone has laid waste to the macaroon before my arrival?

Perhaps it's not time - one should never eat a cookie before its' time!
