ODE TO THE THIN MINT



ODE to THE THIN MINT
by Leslie Aitken

Oh thin mint of the Girl Scout variety, 
how you mock us with your "Serving Size: 4 cookies"!
You know that when we open that crinkly cellophane tube
we are just puppets created only to eat the first serving
without thought! Then to realize halfway through
"the second serving size" that we have ravenously eaten
NEARLY EIGHT COOKIES!
Giving no thought to caloric, sugar or fat content,
feeding the annual insatiable need for
THE THIN MINT!
