A Tribute to Men Who Cook
A man who cooks without any hesitation.
A spice connoisseur who would rather be draped
in an apron instead of a Superman cape.
Could this be a dream from which I'll awake?
A man who knows how to bake a pound cake,
who tempts me with his tantalizing treats
from the tabletop on to the bedroom sheets.
Could my heart sizzle a smidgeon more
as your sexy arms open the oven door
and Heaven's aroma intoxicates me
while I eagerly await this delicacy?
Could I be the luckiest woman on earth
to have a man who can make my chicken jerk?
A veggie king who does amazing things
when he puts his foot in a pot of greens.
If this is a dream, then let me sleep;
I have at least one more meal to eat
But if in the kitchen you're quite the guru,
consider this tribute especially for you!

Post a CommentFinally, a reason for men to pick up the frying pan. *chuckle*
Thank you DOC for the acknowledgement of men who cook. I don't put my foot in it. I put love in it waist deep!:-)
:-) sorry ladies...the cook is taken LOL, great poem...and yes guys that can hold their own in the kitchen are rare...fortunately I am one of them :-) my wife rarely has to cook.
Oh yeah - you had definitely better be careful then Gary! We want you to live a nice, long life so that you can continue to entertain us with your fantastic work here on AC :)
I guess you're right doc, she's a good woman; I love her and, she's good with a gun! Enjoying your writing! Best, Gary
FAB-U-LOUS!!! Cute poem ........ I'm a sucker for a man that can cook!
LOL - Foggynotion, that sounded like some serious macking arsenal! I SO love the way you put that. I think I've mentioned before that you have quite a way with words. Gary, I want you to make it to 36 years with the Mrs., so that weekend pass may have to be via satellite or something. Don't want you to have to follow the advice that I laid out in "How to Dodge a Woman Scorned." :)
A woman who appreciates a man's meager cooking attempts; a woman who appreciates sports and, is educated...mmm. I've been happily married for 35 years but maybe she'd give me a weekend pass and we could watch the Super Bowl; eat Chateaubriand and discuss the finer points of writing, authors's style and meter...LOL...you did one great job on this piece!!
i like. back in the college days, i used cooking as a part of my macking arsenal. it worked. pair a good meal with a witty line, and the ladies would sizzle like a stir fry.
Thanks Ladies! JCorn - I can relate to the whole cooking/brain cell issue, as my brain cells have failed me a time or two as well in the kitchen - lol.
