The Joy of Cooking

Just something I thought up as I was burning yet another meal.

The Joy of Cooking

 

What a joy it is to cook

To be honest I'm rather lousy

I can't bake, I can't fry, I suspect I can't even grill

The microwave is my friend

I bless the day it was invented

I'm even handy with a toaster or two

Sure I can try to make an actual meal

Let's just hope before you eat you have good insurance

My skills are a wonder, as in I wonder if I have any

Looking at cooking shows just makes me think they are showing me up

I can cook, I tell myself that all the time

Just because I choose not to do it doesn't mean I can't

What cook doesn't burn what they make?

It's cajun style, that's my motto

What a joy it is to cook

just don't ask me to do it.

Let's just hope before you eat you have good insurance" albert, i peronally don't find anything i'd change,
so perhaps my revieew is much for constructive, i can say that i really enjoyed reading this poem for what it is, its lol! very humorous and captures a good feeling, a lightheartedness, blissful, to be able to ponder whta in means to cook, and do it well, verses being the best microwave chef God ever created,
colorful, i am sure many p[eople can relate to your words in this piece, the form itself is well constructed,
you did an a great job, i found the entire vimage and relationship to context, entertaining, mike
