My Husband's String Beans
I tried to cook my husband’s string beans
But they came out wrong.
My kitchen skills are rather weak
While his, of course, are strong.
I used the pan he favors
And the oil was sesame.
I added almonds, just to
Jazz it up by a degree.
My friends are diplomatic,
Maybe almost to a fault.
They ate them with no comment
On the fact they needed salt.
Tonight my husband made some
And they taste just like they ought
So I realized my attempt was even
Worse than I had thought!
