O, Oreos! How delectable they are, made of two crunchy brown cookies bonded by sweet white crme. The Nabisco biscuits embossed with geometrics encircling the name Oreo are triple-decker delights. Whether or not you dunk these edible discs into hot black tea or cold white milk, you'll gain immense pleasure from the smell of the chocolate, from the lick of the crme, and from the bite of the cookie. Eat one, eat many - satisfaction is yours. But, not just to eat, Oreo cookies make playful treats.

Buy boxes and bags of these roundly delights. Open them up and empty them out. Build cookie houses and cookie forts; construct cookie cars and cookie trucks. Or lay out the cookies in kaleidoscope motifs; concoct faces and figures - and wild beasts. Versatile Oreos become whatever you wish - just don't eat them all up as you play and create. But once you do finish making Oreo toys, just take them apart and put them in action. You can pop them as winks into a pot. Or spin them as coins and roll them as tires, until they wobble and fall, to lie flat and still. Then you can start all over again.

Once nearing the close of your Oreo session, grab with both hands the remaining Oreos. Push them beyond your lips and into your mouth until your cheeks bulge broadly and proudly. Then chew. Crunch the crumbling cookies, suck the melting crme, and savor the spreading flavors. Then swallow it all down. And as your bloodstream starts singing and your tummy starts humming, experience sheer sensory bliss.

Then, lie on your bed to rest and revel. Close your eyes and reminisce of all that occurred. Fall asleep and dream sweet dreams - see Oreo men ride Oreo cars; watch Oreo patterns make Oreo pictures. But if all of a sudden you recall eating all Oreos, don't sweat a bit; don't sit up in terror. Just realize with relief that more can be found in market and marts everywhere around.

In fact, if you must, get off your rear and go to the store for more Oreo cheer. But brush your teeth before you go because if you smile along the way, passersby will grin and stare at distinctive dark bits sitting there in your teeth. And they will know with unswerving sureness all they need to know about you they will know that you were indeed eating delectable Oreo cookies.
