Hi,

I want to make some dustpan cookies with my little boy tomorrow to take to nursery on Thursday. Are there any clever MSE who could think of a poem that is more suited for this purpose and perhaps a little less American.

Thanks in advance. The ones below just don't seem quite right.

While baking you some cookies,
there was knocking at the door.
As I jumped up to answer it,
the pan fell to the floor.
I stood among the cookie crumbs
and wondered what to do.
The day was late, the time was short,
I had no gift for you.
I bent and swept the cookies up
into a small dustpan.
A friend like you, I told myself,
would surely understand.
The gifts that matter most in life
are those the heart does send.
With that in mind, I give to you
these cookies from a friend.

I was in a hurry,
'Cuz time was running out.
I'd baked a batch of cookies for you,
And when I turned about,
I saw they'd fallen on the floor.
It made me want to shout!
How could this happen at this time,
When time was running out.
I couldn't throw them in the trash.
Whatever could I do!
I quickly swept them in this pan,
And rushed them off to you.

This was the idea I was going to use this year for my kids to give to their great auntie etc until I started looking at other ideas on this site :rolleyes:
Now we're doing face cloth cupcakes, dust pan cookies next year
