> >>> THE COOKIE THIEF
> >>>
> >>> A woman was waiting at an airport one night,
> >>> With several long hours before her flight.
> >>> She hunted for a book in the airport shop,
> >>> Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
> >>>
> >>> She was engrossed in her book, but happened to see,
> >>> That the man beside her, as bold as he could be,
> >>> Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between,
> >>> Which she tried to ignore, to avoid a scene.
> >>>
> >>> She read, munched cookies, and watched the clock,
> >>> As the gutsy "cookie thief" diminished her stock.
> >>> She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
> >>> Thinking, "If I weren't so nice, I'd blacken his eye!"
> >>>
> >>> With each cookie she took, he took one too,
> >>> When only one was left, she wondered what he'd do.
> >>> With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh,
> >>> He took the last cookie and broke it in half.
> >>>
> >>> He offered her half, as he ate the other,
> >>> She snatched it and thought, "Oh brother,
> >>> This guy has some nerve, and he's also rude,
> >>> Why, he didn't even show any gratitude!"
> >>>
> >>> She had never know when she had been so galled,
> >>> And sighed with relief when her flight was called
> >>> She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate,
> >>> Refusing to look back at the "thieving ingrate".
> >>>
> >>> She boarded the plane and sank in her seat,
> >>> Then she sought her book, which was almost complete.
> >>> As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise,
> >>> There was her bag of cookies in front of her eyes!
> >>>
> >>> "If mine are here," She moaned with despair,
> >>> "Then the others are his and he tried to share!"
> >>> Too late to apologize, she realized with grief,
> >>> That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief!
