The Oven Strikes Back
I bought some pots and pans one day
while on a shopping spree.
I haven’t ever cooked before,
but how hard can it be?
Beat some eggs and
chop some veggies…
marinate the meat.
Salt it,
flip it,
fry it,
whip it.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
SupercalifraDELICIOUS,
I could hardly wait.
I popped it in the oven
with the timer set for 8!
Trembling with excitement
over tasting my creation…
I’ll be a culinary hit,
an overnight sensation!
I opened up the oven door,
and quickly looked around.
my dish was GONE and in its place,
a note is what I found:
I know you had high hopes for this.
I know you put your love in.
but I can’t let you serve that dish.
It’s awful.
Signed,
The Oven
