Wonder Biscuits

Wonder Biscuits

First made over one hundred years ago.
Now tasty flavors, colors vibrantly bold.
Original wasn’t bias, both black and white.
Offered all takers a delight filled bite.

Studied in England for brain screens.
Surprise! Rats pick Oreos over morphine.
Triggers neurons, a super sugar reaction.
A party of fur creatures getting in some action.

Memories of after school snacks.
Twist open, dissect for cookie attacks.
Tongue to icing, lick lusiciously sweet.
Nibble chocolate, a fun messy treat.

Oreos, like us, celebrate occasions,
Bastille Day, Halloween, Christmas creation.
Lady Gaga had a “Chromatic” album edition.
Gluten-free is in demand for medical conditions.

Don’t believe this fav has missed a trick.
Think of one, call it out, I bet on a fix.
Available in many countries, a global feast
Double-stuff, a fantasy, even made without yeast.

A shout out to you all at WDC,
Looking up ideas makes a smarter, hungry me.
Even if it’s a cookie, what a complex history!
Gotta go shop, my craving’s no mystery.
