Poem of a Cook






Brownies, C’imon Rolls, Carrot Cakes, Flans have warmed bellies for eons.
With enticing aromas for all to inhale, emoting desire for growls to impale.

Breads, butters, crunchy greens
together prime the taste buds by all means but juicy meats full of flavor
seem likely to provide much savor.

The tables laden with vegetables of white, green and yellow pave the way for a happy fellow.
When completely devoured, promises tastes of marshmallow.

Don’t take for granted those who love to prepare for their numbers are becoming like februare.
