Hey, let’s celebrate
Pass the potassium … sorbate
Beyond butter and sugar too
Fill up on 5 yellow, and lake 1 blue
Everything’s celebrated with
Soy oil that’s hydrogenated
Wax of caranuba
Oil of cottonseed
Thiamine
Lecithin
And Dextin indeed!
Cocoa processed with alkali
Corn syrup
Cornstarch
My oh my!
Wait, what’s the connection
To the resurrection
Enriched flour
Spring flower
Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5 and 6
New lambs and ducklings
And little baby chicks
Fall forward
Spring back
How do cookies
Fill the lack?
The final touch
plastic
Wow
Now they look fantastic
Ready to savor
Artificial flavor
