COOKING

Today I learned,

How to cook,

By flipping some pages📄,

of a cook book📖.

I added extra salt🧂,

This was one of my fault.

I didn't have potatoes🥔,

So I added Tomatoes🍅.

I didn't have Jeera,

which was used to add some spice,

So I added Rai and some Rice🍚.

Then I cried because it got over fried.

I kept making silly mistakes again and again,

like putting wrong value,

Then I decided to discontinue.

But I didn't because,

Who will write further poem for you?

You won't understand the pain,

When the expectations and reality aren't same.

I smell burning food,

Which is not good.

On my first try, Everything got burned🔥,

Oops, this isn't what I learned.

My friend gave me this cook book📕,

She said, "You couldn't beat it.",

Just because I couldn't eat it.

There must be something,

wrong in the cook book.

Learning to cook,

is like learning to solve puzzles.

Read my poem and tell me,

Will I ever achieve error free perfection?
