The Cookie Platter Plague

The cookie platter plague is not something to take lightly,

If it gets you even once, it’s bound to get you nightly,

You think you can run, and you think you can hide,

You think you’ll eat just one, but two you’ve already eyed,

Before you know it, you’ve had 3 then five and then ten,

It’s only a matter of time before you swear, “never again.”

You go farther and a farther away, to the other side of the room,

To avoid the Cookie Platter Plague and all its impending doom,

But doom and gloom you should embrace for there is something you should know,

That’s only the first house Santa, and you have plenty more to go.
