Where cookies rise and sugar sweet,
There lived three friends, a tasty trio,
Cherry, pecan, coconut, oh!
Cherry, red as a summer's day,
Filled with a fruity, playful sway,
In every bite, a burst of cheer,
A cookie delight, oh so dear!
Pecan, golden and full of crunch,
A nutty friend with a smile and punch,
In every bite, a nutty delight,
A cookie friend, oh so bright!
Coconut, white as the snow,
With a taste that makes you want to go,
In every bite, a tropical flair,
A cookie friend, oh so rare!
Together they danced in the cookie jar,
A tasty trio, oh so bizarre,
In every bite, a joyful glee,
Cherry, pecan, coconut, oh me!
