Get Out of My Soup!

Bailey Black
Why is it that when you're cooking a meal
I'm totally banned from the kitchen?
You act like a mother protecting her young
It's like you invented the chicken!

You proudly display your superior skills
And we're required to compliment you
But if we don't honor you sufficiently
You fish for more praise while we chew

But then when it's my turn to cook us a meal
You can't keep the lid on the pot
You season and stir and throw this and that in
If I did it, I'd surely be shot

But I know what you're up to you devious bastard
You eat it and then take your cue
If it's awful, it proves that I'm not a good cook
If it's great, well it's all thanks to you!

    Rofl! Sounds like "someone" in your house is working both ends to his own benefit :) It's probably a good thing the only thing I can cook is toast...with help. My wife gets all the praise for the food, which she deserves.
