She Likes To Cook

She likes to cook. Often, it seems, and perhaps more than is deserved. Like all good cooks, her generosity will sometimes be abused, her culinary delights devoured carelessly to sate the greed of some as well sustained by Maccas. But chefs so splendid, so gifted and so generous as she, enjoy the pleasure given. Given patiently and carefully and willingly and happily, and in helpings undeserved far more than what's returned. She has fed me too her cakes and banquets of sweets and such delights as leave me desperate to repay, with dishes that she might enjoy as much.

aha, I found one that I had lain undiscovered by me as of yet. So who might this wonderful cook be? I love to cook too!! Too bad I also like to eat as much as I like to cook, to avoid the latter, I must do less of the former!!

Oh so true, my mother taught me very young a good cook cleans as she works so in the end it's an easy clean. Therefore I never cook with a sink that's full. Have to always start fresh.

Excellent word play, my friend. You're a very crafty writer who managed to disguise the "bit o' blue" very well in here. Hats off to you, Red. :)
