‘Chef Extraordinaire’

Oh, don the apron

Pick up a knife

Nothing’s more fun

Than to peel, chop and dice!

To measure ingredients

Using a finicky scale

Recalibrating repeatedly’s ever so tedious

Persistence at last does prevail.

Cream, whip, and mix

Sift and then fold

Are all cute culinary tricks

Grease those trays, oh so old

Preventing disaster when baking sticks

‘Fan Force’ oven’s a farce

Delicacies remain pale or ju...

The Ode

Here is an ode

To these dear small objects.

Oh how you lighten my load!

I love your dear, white, round concepts.


To that dear tiny, pale oval,

Split in half with a thin line,

But let me make you a proposal:

You let me keep my sanity ‘cause it’s MINE!


To that dear little shape!

You are my favourite best friend,

You give me some escape,

And I will loathe you to the very end.


To that dear monster...

by sending us to space,

funding billions instead

of feeding millions


Personal glory and gain

never looked so heroic

than it does t...
