The Hawk Kitchen 5:15pm
I’ve set My Deluxe Spaghetti
with hamburger AND sausage
housed in crockery from My First Marriage
into My Gleaming Oven —
I spent two days cleaning off
baked-on two-year-old grease
including showering with the racks this morning —
now My Like-new Oven will provide a fortifying meal
to serve dinner guests
any day this week
The Hawk Kitchen 4:22pm
I have ready to bake
a pan-load of Polenta
made with twelve de-boned chicken thighs
sprinkled with olive oil & Parmesan cheese
Hunter took a picture of It
out of guilt:
He’s refusing to allow
any spontaneous dinner guests
even though I have asparagus
pan rolls (today’s date)
unopened wine
I wouldn’t hesitate
to ask My Spontaneous Dinner Guests
to bring Dessert
