Good news for cooks everywhere

Never in my lifetime have I seen, In any of the places I have been, So many who have an infinite supply of steam, Who to stir the pot are keen. Day or night they are to be seen, Discussing the best way to stir the pot clean, Never asking for a bean, And recruiting for free those who seem to have enough steam, To help them stir up interest in a new dream, Which should be good for cooks everywhere it would seem, As they awaken those whose stir is more mean. So, to cooks everywhere who keen, To find places for their spoons to lean, And a hook for their aprons that are clean, They can sell their washing machine for more than a bean, And the dishwasher as well now that pots are stirred clean, By those who are only just working up steam, Enough to score the jackpot of which they dream.

Thanks Bill. Great observation. I do tend to use cooking as means to get my messages across. Me thinks you a keen observer of life. I just got given a book of poetry that goes back seven centuries to 14th century. Does Texas have a long history of poetry Bill.
