Meg Can'T Find the Scratch

Meg Can’t Find the Scratch

By Elton Camp

Meg had been married a short while
She was finding cooking quite a trial

Her husband, Jason, constantly howled,
“My Mom’s a better cook,” he growled

Her mother-in-law treated her with disdain
“I don’t know how long Sonny will remain.”

Both of them, her cooking did assail
But didn’t go into sufficient detail

Meg desperately went shopping one day
Finally, to a clerk, she proceeded to say:

“My inlaw’s cooking I can’t seem to match.
Because she made everything from scratch.”

“Please show me where it can be found
For I have searched this store all around.”
