Sometimes crunchy and sometimes crispy,
Often it drags my attention to its salty body.
Also, it winks like a naughty baby at my hungry conditions!
By discarding sugary snacks, I often wonder to have savory delights.
Oh, I used to like star-shaped biscuits in sweet flavors!
By adding a crunchy fervor to my life,
Often heart-shaped biscuits slip into my mouth.
Sometimes hard and sometimes soft!
Oh, biscuits! You add a myriad hopes to my greedy heart…
It’s the same biscuit that becomes a lifesaver in famine,
It is the same one that is craved by the deprived persons,
It’s the same biscuit, that a rich family throws to show off their fake concerns.
Oh, biscuits! You are the actual harbinger of joy and delight…
Let the poor and rich both extract the pleasure by having a tasty bite!!!
