I recall the last time you were here, I tried to make <br />Those cupcakes but for some reason they wouldn’t bake. <br />So I left them in the oven for an hour or two <br />But then they started to burn, boy did they smell, phew! <br />After the cupcakes I thought I would try <br />To make some of my <br />Great Aunt’s secret shrimp <br />But after all this food I was sure I had turned into a blimp <br />So I decided to make some carbless <br />Bread and I must confess <br />I think I added too much salt <br />(Although the recipe was confusing so it wasn’t my fault) . <br />After all these episodes I’ve quite given up <br />On cooking. I don’t want anyone to upchuck <br />Anything and blame me, <br />Plus my mother cooks for free. <br />Don’t worry, I’ll let my dreams of becoming a chef fade <br />And disappear. Oh, wait! Try some of these cookies I just made!<br /><br />Lynne Crandall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-i-don-t-cook/
