Culinary Conundrum
I'm cooking as if possessed
My kitchen is in a culinary mess
Pots, pans and bowls galore
Some I've never used before
Surrounded by a million books
With recipes, I've longed to cook
All meals planned to eat next week
The perfect meal I've yet to seek
My husband sits with cutlery posed
Ready to try one of those
Strange looking things on his platter
All the time getting fatter and fatter
Sitting down too much each day
Doing crosswords. making hay
The house has acquired a delicious aroma
We think we deserve a cooking diploma
We've made Aji De Gallina from Peru
Bo Kho spicy stew
We hope this lockdown that we're in
Stops very soon while we are still "reasonably slim"
Other tasks have gone to pot
Because of all the recipes I've got
I will have to quit this unhealthy yearning
Must run now our dinners burning
