Analysis of Some Say I’m A Lousy Cook (Bussokusekika)
Some Say I’m A Lousy Cook (Bussokusekika)
Here’s a happy thought
Next year I may be sixty
Retirement's nice
Some say Meals On Wheels is good
I’ve grown weary of cooking
Some say I’m a lousy cook

About this poem
Have a wonderful rest of your evening and to those who are still up until dawn…Play nice and hopefully ya’ll may enjoy a good meal…In a way it’s nice being back in touch with my boy and wife but my daughter must get her stubbornness from me…Even though they are not the three whom I believe I must convince or find…If Abraham couldn’t find 10 I doubt I can find 3 and besides I haven’t a clue as to where on Earth my inkhorn may bee…
