Come gather 'round, kids, I have a tale to tell
Of treats and goodies that we know so well
From cobbler to cookie, we'll cover them all
And make your mouths water and your bellies call.

Let's start with cider, a drink that's so sweet
It's perfect for autumn, with apples to eat
And if you add caramel, it's a real treat
A warm, cozy drink that can't be beat.

Next up is chocolate, so creamy and rich
It's a favorite of many, no matter which
Whether dark or milk, or with nuts inside
It's hard to resist, no matter how hard we try.

And what goes better with chocolate, you say?
Why, a warm cup of cocoa, of course, any day
With whipped cream on top, it's pure bliss
A drink that can warm you up with just one sip.

Now let's move on to cheese, so tangy and sharp
With crackers or bread, it's a tasty snack
And if you add caviar, it's a fancy affair
Fit for a king or a queen, so debonair.

Coffee's up next, for those who need a jolt
A morning pick-me-up, so we don't get caught
And if you add cream, it's smooth and bold
A drink that will keep us going all day, we're told.

Last but not least, we have chili, so spicy and hot
It's perfect for dinner, in a big, steaming pot
And if you add a cookie, it's a curious mix
But who knows, maybe it's a taste that we'll all fix.

So there you have it, a tale of treats
That's sure to make your taste buds meet
From sweet to savory, and everything in between
These goodies are the best we've ever seen!
