Chicken salad,
buttered toast,
scrambled eggs
and cup noodles,
cold cut sandwich,
flatbread pizza.
Nix your negs,
I make the most
of culinary doodles
in the margins
of my composition book
(that's my kitchen).
Look, I'm certain Gordon's wishin'
from within his Sistine Chapel
that he could hang me
from the gallows for my apple
and peanut butter treason.
Seasoned
with one or all of
pepper, garlic,
big pink salt,
basil and oregano,
my dishes are grizzly,
greasy assaults
upon the sophisticated palette. Oh,
I never bought a mallet
and I'm new to doing meat.
Guess I'll have to beat it
with my fist for now.
Ow!
That poor old sow,
what were they feeding her,
puppy chow?
Her flank's as hard
as The Rock's furrowed brow,
it took an hour
to tenderize.
Anyway,
I send replies
to trendy guys
and girls who review my food.
"It'll bend your eyes!"
(What?)
"It ends divides!"
They tend to cry
things along these
tender lines.
See,
a mender finds
ways to make people happy,
whether he's conventionally skilled
or not.
In this regard,
one of my favorite magics
is the simplicity I dish out
with my pans and pots.
Tsss.

The desire to read, and perhaps to write, should be cultivated and nurtured with care throughout every stage of life. For my part I will inject what strangeness and truth that I can into our written history. Expect no constants but honesty.
