An excellent short work that provides rooms for readers to interpret it's essence. Top score
Dr Dillip---glad you enjoyed the poem--I sometimes just get a bit flippant and fool around with laughing poems!
part 2---I could find a way to defeat the purpose of an air fryer! after all, only I could manage to flood the basement while cooking dinner and washing dishes at the same time--I am such a good multitasker! ! ! !
Even a poem, as good as this, needs inspiration to turn it on, so it won't be missed
the amazing point within your poems is that you can make a great poem from a tiny daily things, and this is showing your brilliant ability to write in different form and using various themes, I will tell you congratulation, stay blessed and on the top all the time, well done 10++for this excellent piece of work as usual. note: please could you kindly reply to my message about the idea of the book(check the in box) pls.... thanks again
Frankly, I'm surprised that someone bright and wise hasn't devised us wives a better stove.! .....loved these lines. Beautiful poem. Thanks again for sharing.'
I am pleased that you enjoyed this poem and my obnoxious sense of humor! ! !
As the composition is humorous and interesting it attracts the readers to read over and over again and it has been applied for me same as well for which i made my second visit. I love the following lines.... Today's lesson? Dinner doesn't cook not one single bun if you don't turn the burner on. . Thanks for sharing this poem.
It is a delight to hear a reader enjoys a poem so much he returns ti chuckle again! ! ! ! Thank you, my friend

Tis good to hear that I'm not the only absent-minded professor type housewife! ! ! ! So happy you enjoy this piece!
Too bad you wives don't have the same stove as in Bewitched. First humorous poem I've read by you, Susan. I'm still smiling! Good write!
What I would give to wiggle my nose and produce not just a meal but an edible meal! ! ! ! ! I'm glad you're smiling, that is the icing on the cake! ! ! ! ! ! !
Frankly, I'm surprised that someone bright and wise hasn't devised us wives a better stove... i smiled as i read your poem.. simple, but fine . in your simplicity lies your goodness of the heart. tony
Whoever invented the stove Wasn't a housewife ...... or joy to be a modern wife without the need of a stove ;)
My poor family prays for our stove to break down and never work again! ! ! ! I do seem to wander out of the kitchen to return only when the smoke gets thick in the rest of the house. :))
A light-hearted little poem on those little things we take for granted that we normally do on automatic only to discover something has gone amiss. Yep that's me....and when I attach a little mental note to hopefully learn, remember, and check next time.....sigh....there is always something else. I guess that makes the good days better with that extra little piece of knowledge aboard.
Yes! I keep telling myself that these mishaps occur because I have vastly more weighty thoughts on my mind... unfortunately, my husband is not buying my excuse!
A brilliant write with full of eloquence and humor. Concise and beautiful. 'Never Let It Be Said'- a nice title. Thank you dear Susan for your chuckling gift.
I'm glad you enjoyed it- -life needs trifles occasionally to counterbalance all the seriousness going on
A very refreshing write, full of wit n humor. The small trivial moments of life have lessons to teach us. A light-hearted poem but with a lot of depth. A10
Life is a blend of tragedy, boredom, comedy- -I have a bit of fun with pieces like this and if I bring a smile to someone's face than I count it time well spent! We all can use a smile every day, no matter how brief. Thank you for your smile and for the 10!
Henceforth when I go to light a stove, I may remember Susan William's this lovely poem.- - Even when your stove is in the off -mode you can bring out a nice poem.
Bharati, isn't Henceforth a lovely sounding word? I think your exquisite vocabulary is one of the reasons for the success of your poetry. In fact, I am feeling the need to read a Bharati poem right now.....zoom zoom I am off and running ;)
It is true That learning something wonderful And new, everyday Can be thrilling, come what may However, spontaneous, cooking stoves won't be looking in your frig., for cheddar. nor will they present you with a menu, ever Innovation has a limit, But you are still allowed to dream About organic strawberries and cream, If that will make you feel better! Such an cute poem Fluffy and light Like a French Omelet Would, Madame like that tonight?
Oh, yes, I would love to have a light and fluffy French Omelet! ! ! Beats the dinners I cook- -blackened, dried, tough..... Mom's cook books [given as part of wedding gift] did not save a dinner from me... she even talked to me over the phone, talking me through how to cook smoooooooth gravy like hers- - she couldn't believe it when I sobbed that the gravy was lumpy..... :)
Surprised! With the muse of life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Again wonderfully comical! .. And again I too can relate! .. Beautifully expressed! ... And ever so many 10S! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
