Why Try
I'm not a celebrated chef
But still attempt healthy recipes
Last night baked homemade fig bars
Quick snack to nibble over hot teas
A small eight by eight size pan
On tried and trues I'd double
This is an untested recipe
New food processor could be trouble
Add ingredients of fig layer
Turn on processor and freeze
Lemon salt cinnamon and figs
Kitchen rain storm with strong breeze
Entire clothes and body sprayed
With diarrhea colored goo
Entire kitchen coated
Jackson Pollock look impromptu
Sticky floor and counters
Dripping cupboards and walls
Every appliance splattered
Still cleaning while nightfalls
I will not be defeated
Reopen iPad and restart
It's not the recipes fault
Cranked up classical Mozart
Hours pass and fragrant bars emerge
Once cooled I cut to eat
These fig bars aren't worth saving
There barely semisweet!
