Get Out of Cooking

Get Out of Cooking

It either ended up being tall
Or really had seemed so small
When you want it to sound best
For it to pass each and every test.

Even when harder you will try
And in the end blinked each eye
What in middle managed to be caught
Had become some small simple dot.

What you found after further analyzing
Turned out being something surprising
For a while longer after you would yearn
You owed money on income tax return.

Guess that time of you its starting to be
When my wife had wanted for her and me
On another nice cruise again to go
But ended up boat to China which was slow.

Then guess what happened, Oh my Lord
We had our fiftieth anniversary on board
After further inspecting and much looking
What she would do to get out of cooking.

Laugh, laugh and laugh some more.
Even after our thoughtful twilight nears
You guessed what will happen in two more years.
