Inside the window, a family you’ll see

A mother, a father, brothers, and

dogs as earsplitting as can be

But this family is the best

Superior to all the rest

Because this family has a bond

We’re all rather fond of

Anxiously tearing open the

shimmering sealed package

Ignoring die red symbols

that embellish the wrappage

Considering this cookie holds

my future unknown

Depending on the message

I’m sure to cheer or moan

Sad

Hiding

Anger

Heart beating faster

Sweating

Embarrassed

Foul Friends

Ganging up on me

Frightening

Victim

Bullied

Wanted popularity

Gossip

Crying
