Do I have to go to school today?
I don’t want to miss mom’s cookie tray
I saw mom buy some flour and choco
She knows how much sweets drive me loco
Mom makes the best cookies in this town
And I’m glad, always the first to own
Not only cookies, but pies and cakes
There is always love in what she bakes
Even neighbors too would come and ask
She would share her recipes with bask
Yes I love my mom for cooking well
And for making my tummy all swell
I’ll pretend I have fever and colds
Surely she will believe me ten folds
For I will not miss the cookie tray
No, I will not go to school today
But I feel guilty lying to mom
If she gets mad she will be a bomb
But I cannot miss mom’s cookie tray
Do I have to go to school today?
