How Dan Cooks

I met a man whose name was Dan
He used a bird to cook on pan
Pan was cheap so bird got burnt
A lesson that he learned
Use a better bird, said the man

Short Order Cooks miracle man 2/25/2025 God sees evil people dining on, their vile imagination’s cooking. Knowing all events to be bygone, and thinking that God isn’t looking.

Premium Member TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH

My kitchen will hold the key, love like warm oven brie. Too many cooks here so flee, this is my holiday plea. Only one needed cook bee, with dinner and hot tea. The broth must not taste like the sea, but with a touch of glee.

Premium Member The More Cooks the Worse Potage-W

I heard a saying long before
Too many cooks spoil the broth sure
I think it proves right
With one another they fight
The man dodges or they little to share.

Premium Member Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth

Too many voices cloud the clear design,
A single vision holds a better line.
When all attempt to steer the simple dish,
It fails to satisfy the hungry wish.
Adds a spice, a pinch, brings new ideas,
Until the true intention disappears.
The pot becomes a muddled, failed affair,
A consequence that no one wants to bear.

COOKS



She can produce something out of nothing.
She  uses  water hot or water cool,
She’s mixing, kneading, always stirring,
She seems to follow no known rule.


Not like me, I need  thinking, planning, 
Select ingredient,  all instructions, special  tool.
When it’s pressure cooking I need fanning:
I’m  from the standard normal training school.

Daddy Cooks a Tasty Fish

Daddy went out to do some fishing,
And he caught himself a pike.
He put it in a basket,
And brought it home upon his bike.
He threw it in a frying pan,
With a little pad of butter.
Dusted it with salt and pepper,
And we had it for our supper.
Daddy said he couldn't cook,
And yet the pike was rather tasty.
When dear mother cooks the fish,
It turns out rather pasty.

Too many Cooks spoil the Broth


Some wanted a mock monarchy 
most were in favour of democracy 
those who liked lawless preferred anarchy
few voted authoritarian
all with shifting goals, tipsy objectives 
too many hands holding too many spoons 
clashing in a hot soup pot, like blot bots 
veggies ended in rotting heaped up coup !

Careless Carla Cooks a Cake

Could careless Carla cook a cake
her daughter Dora would adore
then feed to friends at Friday's feast,
which celebrates school's student-stars?

Her daughter Dora would adore
if cooking Carla could come through
and bake without the batter burned

then feed to friends at Friday's feast
a cake concocted carefully
to make more merry midday's meal,

which celebrates school's student-stars.
So care, took Carla, crafting cake ...
dessert her daughter Dora dropped!
