Wondering, "How to?"

     I enjoy a good "how to" poem.  You have probably seen them before...a list of steps that explain the very mundane with a new clever perspective.  They seem so simple, but I bet they're not.  Even as I sit here and ponder a topic for today's poem, a how-to topic is not coming to me.
     A few minutes with my (almost full!) writer's notebook has left with me with a list of possible ideas.  Because I am looking forward to dessert tonight, I will go with "How to eat a cookie!"

Dunk it

By Melinda Harvey

Pick up two cookies

Pass one to a friend

Nibble just a little

from the bottom end

Hold the tender cookie

as if it were brown silk

Dunk your tasty morsel

into a glass of milk

Count the time in seconds

smile at your buddy

Pull your cookie out

'fore the milk gets all muddy

Put the cookie in your mouth

feel the cream and chocolate blend

Then pick up two more cookies

and pass one to a friend

     Look around you, right now.  Make a quick list of the things you do on a daily basis.  Now, turn one of those tasks into a "how to" poem!  Share it with me in the comments when you're done!
