So tell me dear, do you cook?

Can you make fesenjoon*, or tah cheen*?

Can you make curry or a quiche?

Only when I choose to

Only when I wish…

When friends are over

And bring some cheer

When the time is right

When I feel like it…

That’s when I cook!

When Venus is in Saturn

And Jupiter dances with Pluto!

When the stars are just so

And the moon just so

When I’m happy and inspired

When I’m rested and not tired

That’s when I cook!

When the mood is right and

Friends come to play

When I think of the smile

I’ll see on their faces!

That’s when I cook!

Cooking is an art

So I hear

And relaxing too

I find that weird!

As for me

When I want to make others happy

That’s when I cook!
