Macaroni and cheese,
It will never cook for me,
It is a pimple on the face of humanity
The water is too watery,
The fire is too firey
The cheese is never too cheesy
Macaroni is the goal that I can never reach
It is the bird that will not screech
I think I want some peach.
Peach cobbler
Always such a blunder…
Are you overcooked-- or under?

Write a poem about cooking or baking -- something delicious, something that didn't turn out, something burned, something better than expected, something simple, something beyond reason, a surprise, a treat, an old favorite, a brand-new dish.
I am so hungry, it isn't even funny anymore. Include at least three metaphors and/or similes in a poem no longer than 15 lines. (Keep in mind that your poem is about the creation of the dish itself.)
