Some Baking
Today I did some baking,
Though the holiday’s not yet,
But there is no mistaking
Rules that I will not forget.
Ingredients are measured
And utensils are at hand.
For this recipe I’ve treasured,
Everything must go as planned.
As I dust the dough with flour
And my rolling pin’s in play,
I lose track of time; each hour
Seems to slowly slip away.
These same cookie cutters used to
Be my grandma’s; now they’re mine
And I think she’d be amused to
See her recipe still shine.
I am only halfway finished
But I’m glad to take a break.
Though my skills have not diminished,
There’s a lot more left to bake.
