Cooking Comes Naturally To Me
Cooking comes very naturally to me
Why I can boil water and even pour tea
Ask me to toss salad and, whoosh--one, two, three
Your basic veggies, topped with beer nuts and provolone cheeze*
Now heating up a hotdog is right up my alley
or two-day-old leftovers; I don't dilly-dally
Sometimes, I confess, I might burn the toast
but I've never ever forgotten to unfreeze the roast**
I know you're in awe of what I've told you so far
Sweet Baby James Taylor's immortalized it on guitar***
So I'll leave you with this incredible, amazing feat:
On our honeymoon, I prepared the very first meal in our Motel 6 suite
~Canned tuna, swimming in mayonnaise, on white bread -- What a treat!
