This was such a kick to read. I love your sense of humor.
Each couplet is cleverly rhymed and very funny.
There was a chef at one time known for drinking wine while cooking
on his show Graham something. Can't remember but he was a hoot.
Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for the great review and stars, Nancy. I'm sure if I was a chef I probably would too. Lol. Have a great weekend.

This poem is absolutely hilarious. I love the intensity and depth of poetry, but every once in a while to read a poem that just makes you laugh out loud feels really good. I read it to my husband who thought it was as funny as I did. Excellent rhyming, the words flow beautifully, and it is very very funny.

This is really cute, clever, and very well thought out. You've added some extra excitement to cooking with wine. I guess perhaps though we may need to not air the program depending on the kind of wine consumed, I mean used. This was great fun and I applaud you for presenting an enjoyable and well written offering. Well done!

Excellent poem for the prompt - and good use of the words. Congrats on winning second. I dread to think of what you'll concoct with gin at your elbow. And I half imagined that somehow even the mac/cheese would turn out odd.
Good poem

    Lol. Thank you for the great review, Gail. Yeah, it might not turn out too well in the end. Haha I dearly appreciate the gracious stars. I'm a little confused on the congrats for winning second part though. Maybe it's going over my head or something. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again.

I love your poem. My husband says he likes to cook with wine - and sometimes he even puts it in the food! This reads very easily and is a lot of fun. Good luck in the contest.

Hello mystery writer. You made me laugh with your excellent rhyme and meter cooking instructions. If more cooking directions were written like this, I might cook more. It's a very well-written poem and I wish you well in the contest.

Your poem flows like fine wine and your rhyming words had me spilling over in giggles, especially 'You won't ever eat it so why do you care?" It sounds so much like an old married couple, especially after a few glasses of wine. You used your six words well and I love how your ending leaves is left open for another lesson. This is truly a real corker!

I totally enjoyed this wonderful entry, and may have dropped a vote your way! Not only was it written well, but I found myself riveted at the ingredients, not to mention topping up the glass and scoffing it down lol. I sure hope this exceptional and original poem takes the winner's badge. Good luck!

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the giant sixer, Gypsy MC. Yeah, I think if I were a cook show chef there's good chance I'd have a few along with my meals. Lol. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Thank you again. Have a great weekend.
