Homemade

Homemade things are sometimes best, But often they are not. Knowing when to hit the stores Keeps moods from getting hot. Want to bake a cake? You heed Directions to the letter; But like as not, the bakery Has cakes that taste much better. Stir a pot of sauce for hours, Like the cook you are. Don’t be shocked when it’s as good As what comes in a jar. I tried my best today to make A costume for a play, My knickers getting in a knot As hours ticked away. So now I’ll head to shops set up In time for Halloween; I’ll find the perfect costume For a paltry wad of green. It won’t be as creative, Where I’d wallow in my vanity, But I’ll get great results And also maybe keep my sanity!
