Bon Appetit



A cup of suspense into the pot;
To keep them guessing and keep their hearts up,
 Two spoons of comedy for a little relief;
So while in their seats they won't faint or freeze,
A drop of romance should be enough;
Not the disgusting kind; the one about love,
A pinch of action should do the trick;
So danger will test love in the mix,
Then a teaspoon of tragedy for the heart to melt;
Too much of bad news ain't good for the health,
You can add a some religion, if you please;
It adds a unique flavour that's better than all these,
Now, Stir with a spoon from up to down
And leave the meal to boil for now.
After five minutes, dip your spoon in,
And taste to make sure there's a lesson to bring.
Serve and share with family and friends
For better enjoyment from beginning to end.
