She Hemmed and She Hawed

Jack's wife went and burnt his favorite stew
He came home, kissed her, said: "Honey, what's new?"
   Poor Jane hemmed and she hawed
   Then husband Jack guffawed
Asked: "So what is it that smells like a shoe?"

I have created concoctions like this, and often. If there is someone who hates cooking you are hearing from her right now.

My wife has near 'goat' like abilities to eat anything. Flavor to her is totally unnecessary. We suffer on. Cute poem my friend. Have a great day.
