Kitchen Shenanigans
Today’s poem is for those who love cooking, and for those who don’t.
Poem starts in 3… 2… 1!
He sat to work on his reports,
to make a little deck.
He took his time. He wrote his thoughts.
And paused to double-check.
☑️✅
This life of work, this life of tasks,
was all he ever knew.
But sometimes he would go and ask
his friends for something new.
🗽🎇🍾
A friend suggested to this man
a fancy cooking show.
So he could cook on pots and pans,
just like a total pro!
🧑🍳👨🍳
He went home and sat down to view
the show that taught cuisine.
And step by step, he followed through,
the established routine.
1️⃣➡️2️⃣➡️3️⃣➡️
Chopping food was choppy.
Boy, he almost lost his thumb.
And things would burn so easily.
His nostrils - they went numb.
😤👃
It took some time. It was not fun.
He felt so very stuck.
But finally, it was done!
He could not believe his luck!
🕺👯
*****************
The time has come.
He fills the plates.
He tastes a tiny scrap.
🍜
"Oh no!" he says.
He makes a face.
He orders from an app.
🥴📲
That’s it!
