I assembled these today as I pined over my loss of Oreos. A six-day battle with the Demon Cookie has ended. Last night I won by flushing the last bag of mini-Oreos in the house. :cry:
~~~~~
twist apart to scrape your teeth
crunch the cookie halves
dip in milk but do not drop
~~~
dunk a cookie whole
shove it in your mouth and chew
chug some milk after
~~~
stand on scale and see
what havoc oreos have wrought
jeans no longer fit
~~~
make oreos disappear
do not follow down toilet
no more oreos

Brown and white cookie
Just not as good as Hydrox
Your double-stuff sucks!

Mine links to one of yours, Bertha:
Jeans no longer fit
Must foresake thee, Oreos
Better thou than beer...

Little sponge cake cookies with orange filling and dark chocolate coating..they're a Brit import. We have a shop up at Harvard Square that sells them..see if you have any British food markets,or any that sell imported foods. They are quite yummy. Siobhan=sha-VONN,so "chiffon"isn't that far off:)

I used to consider myself well-read, 'til I started reading more.
The last couple of years have taught me I've missed out on nearly all mythology. Richardo, I'm guessing that you know a bit w/ the reference to Scylla & Charybdis. Can you recommend a good, concise "mythology for beginners?"

I love your additions! LOL
And I was wrong about the last bag. Kathy had the last one in her lunch box, left over from today's lunch. It's still there, waiting for tomorrow's lunch. (She's promised to leave it at work if she doesn't eat it.)
