My Life as a Kitchen Implement

by Cheryl Merrick
Trying to find my place
    in the kitchen,
I tried whipping and stirring --
    pathic, and it took forever!
I tried rolling out dough --
    another dismal failure.
I wasn't too bad at making
    holes in pastry crust,
but chopping was
    a total loss!
I just couldn't find anything
    I could do well,
and my nerves were
    close to shattering.

Discouraged, I wandered 
    into another room.
As my ink flowed smoothly
    across the paper adeptly
    expressing my thoughts,
I learned that we are not all meant
    to be kitchen implements.
