A very well-written poem and an excellent usage of the prescribed words that make up a cooking lesson that any wine drinker would enjoy. I wonder if the food was eaten at the end.

Author, what a hoot this recipe is but a brand new and most classy way of serving wine and cheese.

A fine metre and rhyme and your voicing just cheeky enough to be endearing.

All the required words are present and I look forward to tomorrow's recipe with gin.

Good luck in the booth.

Gloria

A culinary masterpiece indeed! Very clever use of these six words. The picture you created actually made me laugh out loud! While cooking, you take every opportunity to drink a whole bottle of wine. Tomorrow you'll be cooking with gin. HaHa! A great little story in a well designed poem. Hilarious write. Well done! Lynda

    Thank you so much for the excellent review and huge sixer, Lynda. Yeah, I had to have just the right pic for the piece so I had to create it. Lol. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating. I'm glad you had a chuckle out of this silly piece. Thank you again. Have a great night.

This is so fun. A bachelor's haute cuisine. W ho cares what the macaroni tastes like. The wine has it all beat ! And your words fit seemlessly into the story. Well done.

Well done with this, a great tongue in cheek post with a great deal of humour in your "cooking" advice, with great slurps of of "hooch" in your well written couplet rhymed entry in this use these words contest, nimbly and articulately done, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you for the great review and generous stars, Roy. I actually left the (a) out purposely. It was slightly throwing the meter off so I left it out. Thanks again, Roy. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

I am amazed at how six words can inspire so many different ideas. This is amusing and so different from everything else in the contest. Good luck in the contest, Laura.

Now this is a chef I would gladly like to cook with. It's amusing to see WHAT he is preparing as well as HOW. I am not a fan of rhyming couplets, but they do give your poem a light tone. Rod

I'm so glad I had a sixer left, to back up my praise for your hilarious poem. I love the clever rhyming that makes every line so funny. The illustration is terrific, too!

I have a suggestion to correct the grammar in line four, "Here are" instead of "Now here's."

I don't think you'll need it, but good luck in the contest, whoever you are!

    Wow, thank you so much for the fantastic review and your last sixer, Don. I like your suggestion for the change. I think I'll use it. I really appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great night and thank you again.

    You're very welcome. I didn't mean to imply it was my last sixer. I think I had three. I wanted to make that clear, in case I need to give you another, and I have one left.
