CULINARY OFFENSE:

"You shouldn't cook that!"

I heard them all say.

"Why, that's only served

on Christmas Day!"




"You shouldn't bake that,

Something else you should cook.

Our husbands will know

and how will that look?"




"It's fourth of July

No time for that dish.

These rules can't be broken

please honor our wish!"




But I pay no heed

to wives' rambling tricks.

My taste buds cry out

for sage and bread mix.




No husband have I

to eat what I make.

So why should I care

whatever I bake?




There is no set rule

No government law!

I just crave dressing

with turkey. That's all.

    Flavor as fresh as lemon

    There is for me no greater tastier treat
    Then one of my very favorite meals to eat,

    Sweet surrender,
    Tantalizi ng scents,
    Mouth watering morsels,
    Heavenly aromas,
    Scrumptious, herb-roasted quail,

    Mmm.....
