Cookie Jar

​Cookie Jar
 
A house should have a cookie jar,
     For when it’s half past three
And children hurry home from school
     As hungry as can be,
 
There’s nothing quite so splendid
     In filling children up
As spicy, fluffy ginger cakes
     And sweet milk in a cup.
 
A house should have a mother
     Waiting with a hug
No matter what a boy brings home,
     A puppy or a bug.
 
For children only loiter
     When the bell rings to dismiss
If no one’s home to greet them
     With a cookie and a kiss.
