Directions
In a lecture room, before a cooking school, For cooking a husband was given this rule: First, in selecting, to market don’t go; The best you’ll not find there, most surely no. For although there are many, yes, galore, The prime will always be brought to your door. Don’t think for a moment, to bake or broil, Much better tie in the kettle to boil. Use a silken cord called comfort--’twon’t break, But one called duty is apt to be weak. To make him secure it is well, no doubt, Yes! for aught we know; he’d be falling out. And then, too surely if your back were turned, He’d become, alas! both crusty and burned. In cooking a husband you’ll plainly see, Like lobsters and crabs, alive they must be. Should he sputter and fuss, help there is none; Some husbands do it until they are done. Some sugar add, in the form of kisses; You’ll find to absorb, he rarely misses. Vinegar and pepper, use none at all; But of spice you may add a sprinkling small. Stir some, lest to the kettle he adhere, Thus making him useless, I greatly fear. Please not in his side some instrument stick, For when he is done you will know it quick. With proper treatment and excellent care You’ll find him, indeed, delicious and rare.
