iCook

 

it would be so much easier 

to get a take-away

after all

cooking is such a dangerous game

and whatever happened 

to womens liberation

i’m wearing flippers 

riding a unicycle in the kitchen

i need this like i need 

a hole in my head

 

chopping an onion

you guessed it

thought i might be able

to disguise what happened

by only using red things

tomatoes 

peppers

then i ran out of ideas

can you put strawberries

in a casserole

 

red wine

i need a drink

don't even bother with a glass

then empty the bottle

into the pot

not too sure i

know why i’m bothered 

from egg and chips or a sunday roast

salad or even a quick cheesy snack

if i’m doing the cooking

it’s all gonna end up 

black

Oh the pointless roundabout of cooking food. Brilliantly captured first world problem.

I identify with this in every way possible.  Strawberries in a casserole - why not?  Steer clear of the kiwi fruit, though.  Trust me.

I can actually cook, me mum taught me, but I've the attention span of a absent minded gnat. I wander off and do something else. I call it goth cooking 'cos everything seems to be black. Luckily I'm a veggie so it's mostly salad and fruit. Big thanks everyone.
