First prize is $50, fame, glory and did I mention $50? A second prize of an Easy Bind Kit. It’s the Kiddie Cookie Contest/Poetry Slam! Post the cookie recipe kids love best, and get bonus points for explaining what makes it so kid friendly. Extra bonus points if you explain its goodness in poetry. (Limerick, haiku, non-rhyming free verse, iambic pentameter, whate’er.)
There once was a recipe so good
of delicious and scrumptious food
The cookie of dreams
to make all kiddies teem
In a sticky faced sugar laced mood
Post your best cookie recipe here
As long as you’d like it, my dears
And add on a rhyme
Of any old kind
Telling why yours is the cookie sublime.
(Well, it started as a limerick and then I got stumped. I hope you get the idea.)

POEM:
She sits, with a coy smile,
a cookie in each hand,
She takes a big bite while
talking to her “Gram”.
“You know I love peanuts,
love chocolate even more.
I’ll tell you one of my secrets,
what I really adore
is making memories with you
that I’ll treasure evermore.”
