Recipe for Success

Location

Sift materialistic desires (just like Mom said)
Crack open sense of satisfaction (probably out of boredom)
Mix with free flowing ambitions (but try not to make a mess)

Knead until stubborn (just like Brother did)
Bake for adolescence (there’s nothing else better to do)
Take pride out of oven
Allow to cool

Julienne life advice (just like Dad says)
Slice pickled criticism (which is getting a little old)
Halve ripe intentions
Discard unwanted seeds

Toss with sour remarks (just like Sister does)
Plate past and present (only if convenient)
(—for future reference) Repeat stanzas one through four
