Cookie jar
sits on the counter
beyond the reach
of the hungry child
who strains
to achieve
instant gratification
that defines
the Now Generation
Patience rapidly
replaced by frustration
as sweet dreams
go unfulfilled
(an early taste of adulthood)
Most will scream
and cry for Mommy
who of course
will give their baby
what they need
if only to shut them up
so they can get back
to their secret
online romance
The special toddler few
will learn to use their heads
and find a way
to overcome the denial obstacle
with a chair
They will also find
satisfaction is multiplied
when you achieve the goal yourself
instead of having it handed to you
