Dear Jusylee

This is fabulous and is giving me the chuckles, though I does seem I've been lucky enough this morning to fall across much humour, or at least up-lifting poems.

I love Liilia's painting, her work is fabulous and so appropriate for your work.

Your random length verses work well, I find it intriguing how your capitals provide the pause and accentuate the stress of some of your wording. Your poem is great fun and an excellent entry for the contest. I wish you the best of luck and feel you will capture the imagination and laughter of the voters. Well done, and welcome to FS, I'm sure you will enjoy every minute. Warmest regards - Lovinia xoxo

Hi
jusylee thanks for sharing this delightful poem ' I can't cook'.. its rather priceless.
these lines made me laugh... My children are the ones in luck
my biscuits used for hockey pucks;
that sets off the best connotation of how great the cookies must be.....
Never heard of anyone burning Jello, but hey, there's always a first .. so congrats.. it must be you.
lovely little verse jusylee.. best of luck in the contest. cheers and happy smiles melxx

Thank you, all three stories are true which is what makes my children love me despite my cooking ability.

LOL!!! I love how you burned jell-o :) I've been known not to stir the jell-o enough and it all hardens on the bottom. It's yucky. I haven't made jell-o in ages.

This is a fun entry for the contest. I wish you all the best!

I enjoyed reading this. Humorous, well done, flows along nicely. I particularly like:
"My children are the ones with luck
My biscuits used for hockey pucks

A cake from scratch I tried to bake
It simply cracked in half
So I named it Earthquake Cake"

Burned Jello? Naw. You are too hard on yourself. I do all the cooking in our house...not because my wife is lazy, but she lets me because I enjoy it. she is a damned good cook herself, especially fried chicken. Wow! I rarely measure spices and just wing it pretty much b utI do have a book stuffed with recipies I have accumulated from magazines etc over the years. (I don't like fancy dishes and won't mess with them) LOL

Anyway, I think your poem is very funny asnd well written. So there. You may not be a cook, but you are a dandy poetess. :) Bob

Thanks for making my day. I am a poetess.

Oh that is a delightful and true sounding tale of attempts to prepare food. It certainly has a lot of humor and also suspense - like how can anyone burn jello. Thanks for this fun poem and for using my painting to illustrate.

This is hilarious! I've burned a lot of things and done some really doozies, but I have to say I never burned Jell-O. LOL LOL

A good poem with a fresh theme. Good for you. I like it very much. Love the artwork. 8-)

Thank you and embarrassing, but it is a great family story. AT least I can laugh at myself.

I think it's a precious memory to pass down. I wrote one called Little Boy Baker about my youngest son who asked "What's a spatoola." Nearly 40 years, and we're still laughing. 8-)
