Poetry Wednesday: Cookie Monster, Poet




Cookie Monster, via Sesame Street, tweeted the following poem:

This is just to say
Me have eaten 
the cookies 
that were in the cookie jar

and which 
you were probably 
saving 
for snack time

Forgive me 
they were so delicious 
and om nom nom

Me love poetry... and cookies!


You may recognize its inspiration: "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams.

I have eaten
 the plums
 that were in the icebox

 and which
you were probably
saving 
for breakfast 

 Forgive me 
they were delicious
 so sweet 
and so cold


Thanks, Cookie Monster!
