The Army Cook

He desired to become an army man, Who could operate a stern-gun; Those recruited him said: As an army-cook, you could go-ahead; Lion in a kitchen room? broom in hands of a brie-groom? He did not give up, yet, He got his mind, set; He cooked for them, Filled with smiles, like a gem; They appreciated the way he peeled onions, Tomatoes seemed to adjust with his opinions; Capsicum might have kept her mouth shut, When he, of-course with no malice, got her cut; Fish, meat and eggs, though reluctantly, Obeyed his commands, gently; he could find happiness on faces, That fought, many battles, for future races...! 03 April 2022
