' The Pasta Pot

Rating: 2.9


Once there was a man who thought
Adept at cooking he was not,
Upon a dish of Bolognese
He ladled sauce that won him praise
Straight from the pasta pot;

Although he really did not cook
The sauce that from the pot he took,
His talent lied in how he stirred -
That wooden ladle fairly purred,
The man could write a book

On how to ladle pasta sauce,
Upon the pasta stirred and tossed
Upon a platter with great care,
This steaming pile of angel hair...........
Straight from the pasta pot.

His talent lied in how he stirred - That wooden ladle fairly purred, :) That was an apt show of your writing prowess, I'm confused about being awed or amused
