She stared at me in disbelief and anxious curiosity while I ate my Oreo whole. "You're eating it all wrong! There's a proper way to eat an Oreo you know. Let me show you how!" Apparently you're supposed to pull it all apart, lick off all of the cream, then dunk the cookie bite by bite into icy cold milk, it seems. She also said that once you learn how to properly eat an Oreo you'll understand what Life is all about and that's all you'll ever need know. I just sat there in silence holding my whole Oreo up high, hoping never to learn how to rip something so wonderful apart. And to this day I still eat my Oreos whole with a contented, happy sigh. |

Here, Here! Whole-hearted agreement! and I love the layered message, just as much as I love the layerings of dark rich chocolate, and cream... Yer a philosopher!  |

Grand 'nested' testament to many fine and 'important' things..... such as independence, personal freedoms (of choice), individuality, etc.! MUCH applause! |

This is a cute poem. I dip my Oreos in milk until they are soft and soggy, thats how I like them. I would like it if they sold just the creme inside without the cookie. |

I haven't eaten Oreos since the company caved to the soy bean lobby and took the palm oil out of them. They have never been the same, but your poem made me smile and remember the value of small perspectives. |
