Poem Title:
Poem
Though I'm not a professional cook as the title might imply, I can still whip up delectable fare in the blink of an eye. And to an oven or a frying pan I needn't be a slave, As long as I can open cans and boxes and use a microwave! No need for me to spend hours cooking on languid afternoons, Making a mess with spatulas, blenders and tablespoons. I can simply open a box and fix macaroni and cheese, Or thaw a spicy lasagna from a carton in a breeze! Ah, the variety of gourmet soups I can extract from a tin, All prepared to perfection, not too thick and not too thin. Doesn't take me long to create a scrumptious mulligan stew; Simply open a can and heat it up is all I have to do! I never bother making vanilla waffles anymore from scratch, When I can thaw Eggos from a box and enjoy a tasty batch. Thanks to my microwave I can quickly thaw frozen pies. (I didn't bake them but my gullible guests think otherwise!) Me and my sidekick Chef Boy-r-dee make a fine spaghetti, And also canned ravioli, tortelline and cappelletti! I'm always happy to share with others the secret of my success, And the proper presentation of fine cuisine with finesse! Entry For Julia Ward's "Favourite Poem In Rhyme" Contest 7 July 2019
