Dearth in the Cookie Jar!

bonk — hollow jar!

Is there a cookie in the jar? nope. Is there a chip? A chunk? A bar? nope. Is there one crumb in this whole town? ...one. And it's stuck way at the bottom, upside down!

bonk bonk!

Oh I had a hundred yesterday, Now look what I have found — A jar so empty when I shake it All I hear's a lonely sound!

DEARTH! DURTH! You can hear the echo bounce! Dearth of cookies! Empty empty! Not a crumb-ful, not an ounce!

clink — tumbleweed!

Where's the plenty? Where's the lots? Where's the stacks I used to munch? There's a dearth of every cookie, And a great big dearth of lunch!

DEARTH! DURTH! You can hear the echo bounce! Dearth of cookies! Empty empty! Not a crumb-ful, not an ounce!

bonk.

"Mom?! The jar's got a DEARTH!"
