We have learned to improvise.
The recipes of fancy chefs
We serve in slight disguise.
I've never seen tamari
In my local grocery store.
(And even if I found some,
I don't know what it is for.)
When they want capers, goat cheese
Watercress and coarse-ground wheat,
I just buy bacon, cheddar, flour
Lettuce...and I cheat.
I come up with a meal
That tastes...almost, but
Oh, not quite...
Just like the recipe I found
And thought I'd make tonight.
