Sophisticated Chef
Though I'm not a professional cook as the title might imply,
I can still whip up delectable fare in the blink of an eye.
And to an oven or a frying pan I needn't be a slave,
As long as I can open cans and boxes and use a microwave!
No need for me to spend hours cooking on languid afternoons,
Making a mess with spatulas, blenders and tablespoons.
I can simply open a box and fix macaroni and cheese,
Or thaw a spicy lasagna from a carton in a breeze!
Ah, the variety of gourmet soups I can extract from a tin,
All prepared to perfection, not too thick and not too thin.
Doesn't take me long to create a scrumptious mulligan stew;
Simply open a can and heat it up is all I have to do!
I never bother making vanilla waffles anymore from scratch,
When I can thaw Eggos from a box and enjoy a tasty batch.
Thanks to my microwave I can quickly thaw frozen pies.
(I didn't bake them but my gullible guests think otherwise!)
Me and my sidekick Chef Boy-r-dee make a fine spaghetti,
And also canned ravioli, tortelline and cappelletti!
I'm always happy to share with others the secret of my success,
And the proper presentation of fine cuisine with finesse!
