Cooking Poetry To Brighten Your Day

Mom's Favorite Kitchen Poems

This little poem must have given her strength when days were difficult and things didn't turn out as expected.

Gordon's Creed
Question not, but live and labor,
Till your goal be won;
Helping every feeble neighbor,
Seeking help from none.

Life is mostly froth and bubble:
Two things stand like stone --
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.

--Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833-1870)

And every cook who's ever borrowed a recipe can smile at this.

May Your Dreams Come True
She found it in that corner--
The recipe, so rare.
She made it to perfection,
And asked us out to share.

We had chicken, rolls and salad
And things we couldn't make.
But oh! the most delectable
Was Annie's fresh Dream Cake.

Now we're going out to Annie's,
Just when the day is fair;
For when we tried to make that cake
The Dream was one nightmare.

--Anonymous.

I am sure this little poem reminded Mom of her own wooden baking cabinet. The metal surface that pulled out for rolling dough on had a sort of checkerboard design that I did improvise to play games on as a youngster.

A Kitchen Cabinet
I have a kitchen cabinet,
Painted green like grass that's wet,
And when I want a flower vase
I use the sugar jar of glaze,
And marking squares off, more or less,
I use the baking board for chess!

--Margaret Clarke Russell
