An Ode to Girl Scout Cookies

There are many dull things about winter:
The snow, the cold and the dark.
But we will gladly trudge through it,
Knowing the cookies will soon be a part.

The moms pass around sheets at meetings,
The same ones since I was a scout.
They have all those colored columns
That make your tummy flitter about.

Is it Thin Mints that are your choice?
Or Samoas that make your taste buds dance?
Or are you the only one out there
Who gives those Lemon Cremes a chance?

Then finally the day has arrived
When the cookies show up at your door!
The joy- it is overwhelming
As you rip into the package for more.

Then sadly, you realize that something
Hasn’t changed in 92 years.
There are only 15 Tagalongs
And soon they all disappear.

What happened to my chocolate-y goodness?
Why did you vanish from me?
I realize that small little box
Is only an appetizer, you see.

Some freeze the cookies for later
Like squirrels preparing for winter.
But we never seem to have extra
Always finishing them on a binger.

So we’ll patiently wait for next year 
For the cookies to return once again.
Because soon those cute little scouts will be knocking
And we'll gladly be ordering by tens.
