Pots and Pans

Mazy Keller
In the kitchen are pots and pans
Idly waiting for skilled hands.
Hands that know how to cook

Indoor grills and microwaves
Send pots and pans to their graves.
Kitchens once were filled with laughter
Building memories for ever-after.

Now the kitchen shelves are bare
Family doesn't gather there.
Food is fast and made to go
Speedy lifestyles make it so.

No longer need to keep the book
Gone the era of the cook.
In the kitchen no pots and pans
No happy family no skilled hands.
