The freezer had a box of thin mints And yet I have not seen them since You were here, at home alone And now I take a darker tone, If you have taken them, know this: Ne’er again will you see bliss Your days shall see no end to pain Chocolate in your teeth makes it plain That you have eaten them, I see 'Tis equal to a guilty plea! **Steal the thin mints, will you?!?!** I may just have to kill you… ---

While serving in the Army I was sent to Korea. Several times my mom sent boxes of goodies, and it was understood that one shared such bounty. However, one mailing contained, among other things, a box of Thin Mints. Before I took the rest out to share I removed it, to have all by myself! ---

Looking and looking in the wide-open freezer **Campion** cannot see the Thin Mints box; Life falls apart; no cookies can she hold; Rank hopelessness is loosed upon her world, The ice-draped tide is loosed, and everywhere The countertops of the kitchenette are drowned; The pies lack all subtlety, while the cakes Are full of caloric intensity. Surely some Girl Scout cookies are at hand; Surely the second carton is at hand. The second carton! Hardly is that thought out When a small image out of the District Council Gladdens her sight: somewhere on streets of the suburb A shape in green uniform with the head of a lass, Her gaze bright and comforting as the sun, Is moving her slow legs, while all about her Reel shadows of the leafy-lawned suburb birds. The doorbell rings again; and now we know That twenty long minutes of hunger pangs Were stopped by approach of a knocking girl, And what sweet treats, new boxes come round at last, Did slouch towards **Campion** to be bought? ---

How long does ice cream last? I’ve got an unopened half gallon of Dreyer’s Thin Mint (only available during Girl Scout cookie season). I could be open to bribes, nudge,nudge. 😉 ---
