Notes About The Poem

Home Sweet Home Cookin'

There's nothing quite as inviting as 
 the smell of some good ol' home sweet home cookin'...
especially your favorite meal being prepared!

That aroma of well-seasoned soul food
being cooked by your significant other
who knows his or her way around the kitchen...

Doesn't it smell better than any fragrance 
 you've ever worn or whiffed? Doesn't your hunger
intensify exponentially as you walk in?

Those spices! Oh, those spices!  
"Something smells delish! Honey, is food ready!?" 
[your thought bubble]

Doesn't your mouth start watering then?
You feel the urge to make a beeline for the kitchen
To sample a morsel of yummy deliciousness

And you're likely to come back...
like Oliver Twist wanting...
some more? Well, maybe.

You have spoken truth, Edward! No wonder everyone gathers in the kitchen where body and soul are nourished! Congratulations on your HM!
