The Introduction

When my Mother introduced you to me, My life changed in ways I had not expected, It was always a pleasure to take you out with me, You got me invited to places I never expected. You stimulated conversation at any and every table, And always made sure I got due attention, My life had never been so stable, I made sure you got a good write up in a magazine of distinction, You please me in ways no other would be able. I will always delight in the the first sight of you, In a different guise each day, I can never get enough of you, You bring such wonderful flavour to each and every day, I have lots of friends thanks to you. So here's to you Mother, For giving me such a good start in life, I will always be grateful to you Mother, For sharing your secret to a successful life, And for entrusting me with a recipe book like no other, That set me up for decadent life, Producing a range of pastries to make without any bother, That led me to a wife, Like no other. I also took your advice to go easy on the cream, And not to talk with my mouth full, As I don't want a doctor to shatter my dream, And tell me I have had my fill, That it is time to live a life that is tame, And switch to taking a daily pill.
