You Are a Great Cook

I never tasted a better cook
You're so good, you should write a cookbook
So delectable to the taste
Nary a crumb ever goes to waste

You know I hate to tell a lie
But I chuck it to the dog when he walks by
Right under the table is where it goes
Even the dog turns up his nose

So I swallow it whole with a smile
Knowing I'll be in the loo in a short while.
I figured out why the last time I fainted
Tastes like this food must be tainted

To eat your cooking one must be brave
For there is a chance to find the grave
I hope with time you'll learn to cook
Then you can really write a cookbook

G'day Timothy … just tell whoever they're a hopeless cook. It should work, but then again, some people are fickle - before becoming dangerous - thanks Timothy - Lindsay

Take out is usually a safe option, Timothy.
