recipe for success in cooking (Monday Poem)

by Marilyn Singer


Crack your eggs when you're happy.
Beat them well when you're glad.
Melt your butter in a saucepan.
Take your eggs and gently add.
Stir them slowly till they're scrambled.
Serve them to your mom and dad.
Things taste best when you are cheerful.
Never cook when you are mad.
