Crunchy chocolate cookies and cream
Frothy glass of milk for dunking
A taste supreme, layered daydream
Childhood Snack King
***
A pairing of bitter and sweet
Like the one found in memories
From after school to post work treat
Just one more, please!

To Give Your Last Twenty
He walks oddly, shuffling and nearly tripping down the hallway toward his apartment door. I slow my pace, allowing my neighbor— a stuffy ex-marine with one missing tooth and a strong odor of liquor and two weeks' worth of unwashed stench always accompanying him—to reach his door. I crinkle my nose, nearly gagging as he dawdles ahead.

So relatable, and I like the rhyme used to make the reader think of childhood! "Frothy glass of milk for dunking" favourite line D.K.
Ooh, I miss that bitter and sweet of chocolate.
Mmm, Oreos. And yes, memories are bitter and sweet too. I like that comparison.
Omgggg, this is my guilty pleasure! Loved your poem!
D.K., this is charming!! Perfect for the Snack Challenge!
What a perfect, bite-sized celebration of Oreos!! Love this, well done :)
I never cared for Oreos, unless that was the only sweets available😉😂 You make them sound good!😊💕
Loved this! I use to break them apart and eat the filling first! Thank you for sharing happy memories!
