Jan Allison Poet Couplet

I'M Cooking On Gas

This afternoon I am going to bake a tasty treat
Scones and lemon drizzle cake for us to eat

I’m also making a spicy balti chicken curry …
Hope we don’t have to run to the loo in a hurry

A huge pot of spaghetti bolognaise for our tea
It’s my son’s favourite hope there is enough for me

At one time I used to bake an awful lot more
But university took my son from our door

With just two of us left to eat a massive cake
If I stepped on the scales they would start to quake

So now baking is reserved for high days and holidays
Must dash now need to get out the baking trays!
