Do You Like To Dunk Your Biscuits?
6 November, 2002
Author: Capricorn
( Then don't do it at Grandma's! )
Do you like to dunk your biscuits
In your coffee or your tea?
Do you like that certain texture
Soft but not mushy?
If you dunk it for too long
Your biscuit will break up
And leave a nasty mess
At the bottom of your cup
One day visiting Grandma
My son just a small boy
Dunked his biscuit in his tea
But this brought him no joy
`Don't do that dear' Grandma smiled
`It's rather rude' she said
`Well mummy does it sometimes'
I felt myself go red
She had thought me sophisticated
Now she knew the truth about me
But I bet when she's alone
She dunks her biscuits in her tea
------- Author's Notes -------
I think you may call biscuits cookies in USA |

Plus, if your cookie/biscuit is too crisp, like a ginger snap, it softens it so you don't have crumbs and stuff. Although, the sludge at the bottom of the cup is kinda nasty... |
