Cookery Book Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThe perfect haggis

His name was Mr Hamish MacTavish.
He was a Scot, and his taste was lavish.
Mr MacTavish wrote a posh cookery book
So all Cordon Bleu Chefs could try to cook,
A haggis!

Premium MemberCookery Book

Disana Magluto is our good cook
Who writes recipe in our kitchen nook
With some herbal condiments
Trying all things different
She will write her first fictional cookbook

Premium MemberOut of the Frying Pan

I think that it's fantastic
When my wife start's to cook,
She gets out all her pots and pans
And MY brand new cookery book.
She starts to peel some potatoes
Then she gets some liquid out.
As I look on in wonder,
At what it's all about.
She then chops up the potatoes
And drops them in the pan.
I don't know what she is doing,
After all, I'm just a man.
At last she shouts it's ready,
She says she's made my tea.
She's sat there eating a takeaway,
And it's a plate of chips for me.

Premium MemberMy Turn To Cook

My wife said to me
She didn't feel well,
And if I don't mind, would I cook.
I told her to lay down
And have a good rest,
While I get my new cookery book.
So she went to lie down,
And I went for my book.
Oh what a surprise,
I was in luck.
Hiding behind my new cookery book
Was a menu from a good takeaway.
So I waited an hour,
Then sprinkled some flour,
Then ordered a pizza,that day!

Love In a Bowl

I missed the meals mama used to cook 
Her recipes were not in the cookery book 
Mama was just more of a kitchen queen 
She's the best cook we have ever seen 

Mama's Fufu with Chicken soup was my best 
The manner she cooked it was better than the rest
Her meals always nourished the spirit 
As they filled the stomach every minute 

After school she served us with spaghetti 
Mama's garnish as elegant as bugatti 
She'll serve with eggs and some salad dressing 
It was a special kind of love, very impressing 

Oh my gosh! Her meals saved me countless times 
I cannot really explain that in poetic lines
Family dinner was a time of joy and conversation 
A time of fellowship, laughter and celebrations 

She sprinkled all her meals with goodness
And carefully spooned cinnamon for sweetness 
Making dessert, bread and cakes for birthdays 
Chicken sauce and pineapple drinks on holidays 

Never was there a meal like her morning prayers
She'll spend early hours of her days in prayers 
Her heart was full of love, peace and joy 
She was our lamp, like a light in the city of Troy

Premium MemberDear Santa I Want

Santa I want just one thing by our Christmas tree
please can you bring my dear mummy to me
I blow kisses to her star high in the night sky
and I try to be brave, but sometimes I cry

Daddy tries hard, but he’s not a good cook -
please could you leave him a cookery book.
Santa please please bring my mummy for me
She's the one thing that I really want to see

Love from Charlie

Goodbye

She's making love to him as though he'll
pay her with love he would have given
her in the lost years.

She's baking a fruit cake she saw
in a cookery book. It's the best she's
ever made. She knows he likes it.

She's taking out the garbage. Usually
they sleep all Saturday mornings,
and assume the garbage people
will somehow open the locked 
kitchen door, and take out the garbage.

Her suitcase is about to burst;
Her flight ticket is at her dressing table;
Her nails are well made and glossed;
Her taxi is about to reach the gate....

She's about to tell him "Goodbye" for good.....

Come Dine With Me

My imaginary resturant is painted sky blue.
Please enter, let me entertain you.

There is soft music playing.
The kind I hope will get you swaying.

Each table has an ocean view.
Never booked out, always a few.

Smiling faces take your order.
The menu will include fresh lobster.

The house wines are oh so mellow.
Poured by a very handsome fellow.

The chef is Italian and sings as he cooks.
He has written a wonderful cookery book.

Wholesome goodness served with flair.
New dishes to try if you dare.

Delectable delights of delicious tarts.
Easy conversation before you part.

Linger over fresh ground coffee.
On paying the bill, offered a toffee.

How soon can we all dine again?
Let's meet you here next week my friends.

Premium MemberI Am a Technological Dinosaur

If I want to spell a word I get my dictionary
Others use their I-phone

If I want to know the time I look at my watch
Others use their I-phone

If I want to send a message I get a pen and paper
Others use their I-phone

If I want to know a recipe I get my cookery book
Others use their I-phone

If I want to work out a sum I get my calculator
Others use their I-phone

If I want to know the weather I look out of the window
Others use their I-phone 

If I want to listen to music I turn on my radio
Others use their I-phone

If I want to take a picture I use my camera
Others use their I-phone 

If I need to look somewhere dark I use my torch
Others use their I-phone

If your I-phone gets lost then so are you, 
How do you ever manage without it?

BUT if I get lost and need directions – I ask my husband
And he gets out HIS I-phone!
