How many cookies can I have?
I've been good and not much bad.
I'd really like to have the pack,
But 'spose there's not much chance of that.

Pleeeease, can I have five, in my lunch?
That's better than a whole big bunch.
My teeth won't rot if I eat five,
They will be a nice surprise.

Can I have two then. Just today?
You don't like them anyway.
I'll eat some carrots, if you please,
Even though they make me sneeze.

Just one! Just one! I like strawberry,
They're much better than the cherry.
I'll eat it quick so I won't get fat!
Tell me what you think of that!

What's that you say? I'm wheedling?
Begging? Pleading? Cuittleing?
You say I'm turning your hair grey?
We'll then, let me have my way!!
