All kernels deserve to expand and grow

The kernels desires to expand and pop.
If you make it in too much water, it gets cooked and boggy.
In too much sticky butter, it gets grounded to the bottom of the pan.
In too much flame, it gets the undesired smokey flavor.
In too much spray of oil, it becomes an unhealthy snack.
So pop well and rise and transform to a beautify popcorn.
Then again I see you acting as a co-star in a song.
Shall I call it touché or well-done?
