Oh, morsel round, you fill me with delight In ways that other cookies cannot do Though Lorna Doone entices me to bite My faithful lips wait patiently for you. So many ways to taste your wondrous fruits At once or separating you in two Your creamy filling has no substitutes To satisfies one's sweet tooth like you do. A dunk in milk will make you soft and sweet Yet one must care too much time doesn't pass Or there will be no cookie left to eat But just a gooey mess inside the glass. Though imitations come and quickly go They never will replace the Oreo.  |

Aha, so you read my Oreo storeo? LOL at yours, and yes, you have to eat them quickly or a gooey mess is all that you have to show for your devotion to that sweet little cookie. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (edited 10-01-2001).] |

ROFL ... much enjoyed Michael! My mother had a recipe, that was a sheer delight, "Grasshopper Pie" she called it ... I could eat it every night, She'd crush up tons of Oreo's and layer them below, A whipped up minty filling topped with fluffy marshmellows. Yum! Thanks for the tasty memory! Best wishes, /Kit |

Sir Balladeer: You darn near made me break my diet. But then again, I'm not real so what's a few extra pounds. Hope you are doing well my friend. Peace! |

Ode To Chocolate Cream Oreos Well, first I loved my Oreos whole, then the cute little minis came along. I'd pop them in my mouth by the bag full, Trust me they didn't last too long. Now Oreo invented chocolate minis, They have become my favorite now, Trust me Balladeer when I tell you, You can't eat just one, no way, no how!
