This your cookie-mencement speaker, Cookie Monster,

here to congratulate you on graduation.

Me know it a challenging time right now,

and you getting deal rawer than cookie dough.

No graduations, no parties,

no awkward family photos in your cap and gown.

But me so impressed because all of you are showing

that you some pretty tough cookies.

Mm hmm.

And don't worry, 'cause me prepared an inspiring speech

perfect for occasion.

You're gonna love it.

Ah, where me speech?

Um, okay, apparently me ate inspirational speech.

But that okay, because this actual life lesson, yeah.

Always be ready to wing it.

And sometimes, you may eat your own words,

so that actually two lessons.

You know, you are all a lot like cookies.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, there are even two cookies in 2020.

Cookie, cookie.

You graduates have all the ingredients

for an amazing future,

just like the ingredients in a cookie.

Your knowledge, your ABCs and 123s,

is kind of like your flour,

a base that allows you to bake and create cookies

or anything you want.

And you're also like butter.

Me never met a class so slick.

You as smooth as a baking sheet.

Thanks to you, me wearing high waisted jeans again.

Yeah.

And, me know more dance moves than the cookie shuffle.

(upbeat music)

Next, we have the chocolate chippies, mmm.

That's your sweetness and kindness,

the way you care about helping others and making

this a sweet world to live in.

Mwah! (blows kiss)

And me know it a little crummy right now,

but like eggs, you may get cracked,

but you always bake and rise up to face challenges

in front of you.

And you put that all together,

with a dash of vanilla, and maybe some raisins

if you into that sort of thing,

and a bunch of other things that me forgot.

Me cookie eating expert, not cookie baking expert.

And we have you, a perfectly prepared,

baked and well rounded, cookie.

Class of 2020, remember to eat a lot of cookies.

Yeah, and a few veggies.

And, follow your own recipe.

Me hat off to you, if me had a hat, but me ate that too.

So me cookie off to you,

you smart, well rounded cookie, you.

You the best of the batch.

Congratulations and cheers, class of 2020.

Clink!

Yeah, good luck.

Your future look delicious.

And so does this cookie.

Yum yum yum yum yum. (chews loudly)

Ahh. (sighs)

Thank you.
