Who Feels It Knows It

An old saying: only those in the kitchen
Feel the heat. Who feels it knows it, those
Are the people to meet? 

No point saying I understand but haven’t
A clue. Unless the same, or similar situations
Happen to you.  

If you have no idea and cannot relate, only
Who feels it knows it, and have a voice. It’s
Unfortunate the lot seems to fall on a few, 
One good thing we have is a choice.
