                        Like a voyeur I
                        salivate, 
                        peering tenderly at you, 
                        through your full view 
                        display case like window, 
                        I feel suddenly ravenous, 
                        as I softly contemplate 
                        your luscious splendor, 
                        fervently enticing me. 
                         
                        I imagine your delicacies 
                        and your assorted treats, 
                        that are so very yummy; 
                        some soft as marshmallows, 
                        others sweet as honey, 
                        and some filled with cream. 
                        Its your voluptuous cookies 
                        I so much want to devour. 
                         
                        I long to indulge my hunger, 
                        by munching and consuming, 
                        your savory, satisfying candy. 
                        Your juicy, delectable goodies 
                        put a joyous smile on my face, 
                        and an assured bounce in my step. 
                        I give thanks each and every day 
                        for my cafeterias vending machine. |
