The Runaway Cookies 

The cookie jar people
Hopped out one night
When the cookie jar lid
Was not on tight. 

The gingergread man
Opened raisin eyes
And looked about 

In great surprise. 

The frosted bunny
Twinkled his nose
And danced around
On his cookie toes. 

The sugary duck
Began to quack
And shake the sugar
Off his back. 

The cinnamon bear
Could only grunt
For he was too fat
To do a stunt. 

The coconut lamb
Jumped up so high
That his little white tail
Flew toward the sky. 

They were all so happy
To be at play
That they danced and danced
And danced away. 

They danced away
So very far
That they never came back
To the cookie jar.
