Cookie Theif

Wonderland in Dubai!

"Did you steal the cookies again?"

My mother furrowed her brows,

That in itself scared me and I lied-

Shaking my head in denial,

My mouth stuffed with one too many,

And a few in my hands behind my back,

As many a soft little plump hand can carry!

My mouth littered with sprinkles 

And the whiff of chocolate around,

I gulped and swallowed one aloud!

She crossed her arms standing tall,

Scary and beautiful much like my doll,

I gaped at her as she pierced me with her eyes,

Waiting for me to give away the lies...

I think she got tired and took me to bed,

Where I ate the rest of cookies till I slept!
