POEM STARTER
Submitted by Elowyn Abernathy
Write an ode, but make it sarcastic.
An ode is a poem that normally focuses on a subject in a positive and glorifying light. Think about how you'll make the tone obviously sarcastic.
‘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 just burn
Cooking sure is the last gasp!
_When_ will I _ever_ learn?
