Smoking Mad

Smoke transports itself in every room 
Devastating aroma given by the chef's creativity 
Butchering the bruises off from a deformed potato
Shaping potatoes with a single zap of a chef's favorite knife 
Grease prevailing the crisps...smoke torments the eyes 

Maddening the hungry carnivores,
Begging for protein and strength
Wanting steaming steak instead of crispy fries  
Horror surges in this hesitant hour 
Bringing my life close at stake 

Arms and limbs butchered in yanking gore 
Leaving my bones and remains on the kitchen floor 

You despicable carnivores,
Are you smoking mad?
