Pull out the bowls and cups,

Set out the flour, sugar, and salt.

Check out the recipe and measure up,

Follow the list without fault.

Sift, strain, and stir,

Combine and mix all things in.

The mixer runs with a whir,

Causing the bowl to spin.

Making bread, or rolls on which to sup,

Be it rye, wheat, or oat;

Enjoy the taste, gobble it up,

Use the butter or jam to coat.

Baking cookies, cakes, or pies,

Delicious treats on which to dine,

Careful now; the stomach can fool the eyes,

Perhaps enjoyed with the fruit of the vine.

Lovingly prepared by humble hands,

Rolled and pounded thin

Allowed to raise and stand,

Shaped and molded for another’s whim.

Metal, glass, and fluted pans

Greased, floured, and oiled,

Which will give the bread its golden tan,

Wrap it all for gifts in colored foil.

I never met my Grandmother. I guess though this is close to what I missed out on as I watch my children with my mum.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
