Cookie Monster Goes to Fat Camp
COOKIE MONSTER GOES TO FAT CAMP
A bit of my inner child died today,
seeing cookie monster,
his crescent grin gracing his face,
sitting behind a table filled with
bananas, grapes, apple slices.
Finally all the years of
television, Hollywood and those magazine ads
have caught up with him.
The network is twisting his arm,
scolding him for being such a bad influence.
So he is watching
his blue furry figure,
the girl on the bowflex video, and trying
to slim down, trying
to count his calories, trying
to watch his carbs.
His plushy face looks a bit gaunt,
his hair unkempt.
Hidden behind that smile and
those wide white eyes,
I see pleading.
“C is for cookie”
that’s good enough for me.
