The Hockey Pucks…
When I was young
I was a bad cook,
and I mean
REALLY bad.
The only thing
worse than my cooking
was my failed attempts
at baking.
My brownies were famous,
and they acquired
a special nickname:
the hockey pucks…
Yes, the brownies were
very burned,
very hard,
and very unappetizing.
Perhaps it’s this
lack of success then
that made me determined
to bake well now.
It took years
of practice,
of patience,
of perseverance.
But I did it.
I succeeded.
I actually now make a dessert
that is loved by all who try it.
It’s cheesecake.
And it’s awesome.
So much so that I plan
to sample it to those I love.
So be ready.
On my next visit,
I will probably arrive
with cheesecake in hand.
I’ll always be known
for my hockey pucks,
but I’ll also be known for
some delicious cheesecake.
Stay groovy…
