Description
I lie awake upon my bed,
With random thoughts inside my head.
My stomach growls, I need to eat.
I think I'd like a cookie treat.

So, quietly, without a peep,
With ninja skills I start to creep.
I slowly walked on down the hall.
Those treats were mine, I'd have ‘em all!

But wait, what's this? What have I spied?
My parent's door was open wide!
I couldn't breath, my stomach clenched.
I ventured on, my clothes were drenched.

The minutes seemed like hours gone.
With nervous steps I tiptoed on.
So far so good, I felt assured,
This obstacle I would endure.

Just nearly halfway past their door,
When suddenly my stomach roared!
My heart was beating in my chest.
Did I just fail my epic quest?

My body frozen, muscles tense,
I'm losing all my confidence.
My parents stirred, but stayed asleep!
I slowly sighed with great relief.

The hurdle passed, I quickened gait,
To kitchen I would gravitate,
For cookies that my mother made,
Were waiting there for me to raid.

I came this far, I would not stop.
I climbed upon the countertop.
And opened up the cupboard wide,
Then pushed some snacks and things aside.

Just like a chest there it did lay,
The cookie tin on full display!
Into the tin my hand did reach,
I knew full well the rule I'd breach.

Then, with a click, a blinding flash!
It seems my plans have all been dashed,
For there they stood with angry stare,
My parents in their nighttime wear.

They yelled at me with irritation,
And so began my fabrication:
“I heard a bump go in the night
And knew that something was not right.
Perhaps a thief had broken in
To steal the cookies from the tin!”

My fib, it seems, they did not take,
They punished me for my mistake.
With teary eyes I did comply,
Sent back to bed where I did cry.

But unbeknownst to everyone,
They had not seen what I had done.
For hidden deep within my sleeve,
My prize I set out to achieve.

Pulled out a cookie I then ate.
My hunger it did satiate.
I settled down into my bed,
And dreamed of cookies in my head.
