Culinary

I love to eat; and I always wanted to learn how to cook But mama said I wasn’t capable yet She would always let my little sister stay in the kitchen and watch her make Sunday dinner I guarantee you if mama let me do that, I’d be the best cook you bet My sister was seven and I was nine And for some reason my mother thought females were more efficient in house labor and cooking But that doesn’t apply to me because I have a passion for making food and comestibles And if I don’t become a good chef, I might end up in central bookings So I called my aunt to see if she can teach me and she was so happy Every Saturday, she would pick me up, put on my apron and teach me dish from dish After she taught me everything, one day I snuck and made my way into mama’s kitchen I decided to cook a six-cheesed lasagna and smothered teriyaki fish Suddenly, the light flicked on and off I turned around and saw mama there with her belt As I trembled, she walked up to the stove and tried a piece of meat And when she smiled and licked her fingers, I knew how proud she really felt I felt proud that I was able to stand up for myself And when mama had me cook on Thanksgiving I felt even better As I built up my arrogance I went to my sister and said….. Anything you can cook, I can cook even better
