A Love Letter to My Frying Pan


The whole world doth smell of bacon

And not one amongst the crowd protest.

I lean in close, risking burns,

The smell I love, hot grease detest.

 

The aroma has taken room and house

The smell shall remain lodged for long.

I tussle the pan, shifting the strips.

The crackle of cooking a joyous song.

 

I cease the burn and remove the reward.

The grease settles and the bacon steams.

I wait to devour the fruit of my labor.

The first bite, memories of loving dreams.

 

I finish the feast but the joy goes on.

I have ended my treat but not its smell,

lingering now, my ecstasy not gone.

My hungers, bacon doth always quell.
