THE NEW COOK😊

I looked through the cook book,

A meal for the huge family I had to cook,

I switched on the fan and the pages turned,

Added salt to the halwa sweet and sugar to the meat,

Took pains to plate,the meal was laid,

Looks were funny and amusing,

Whether they laughed or cried, was confusing,

Thus was my first day at the kitchen after my wedding,

To venture back to the cooking arena am still dreading.
