Burnt Popcorn

She burns all but salad

Too busy doing too much

A scurry here and hustle

A dusting just for the bustle

Of course she is related

To her grandmother Russell

And the trait to make a fuss

Over all unimportant muss

So when it comes to singular tasks

Such as baking stuff

Inevitably the cooking of a pie -

Is burnt and charred until it dies

And so we arrive at pious popcorn

A misdemeanor in disguise

It was heated and then it was popped

It popped and popped and did not stop

Until the white puffs clouds

Became way to hot

They smoked and they frowned

They hissed and turned brown

And black tendrils stretched

Across the kitchen gown

They reached the ceiling

And set the alarm to bleating

The remedy by fan and hand

The sound and smoke did disband

But alas the microwave yellowed

And the odor set the house to bellow

Now King Frost bites my nose

As we air the halls and the throws

Yet another victim of her and the oven

Next time I'll just go to seven eleven
