The oven is on and the stove is lit,
I have tied my apron and I’m wearing my mitt,
Delicious smells waft through the air,
Feel free to explore my stainless steel lair.

Passionfruit sponge cake drizzled with sauce,
Chocolate mint cheesecake, chilled of course,
Buttermilk pancakes with ice-cream and syrup,
Steaming hot, they’ve just come off the skillet.

Blueberry muffins with a cinnamon sprinkling,
Chocolate chip cupcakes, almost ready for frosting,
Macadamia cookies lightly dusted with sugar,
Leave them to cool, or I’ll smack your finger.

Now the kitchen is filled with sugary treats,
I shall bid you all adieu, my sweets.
You see, I never share my lovely creations,
They’re all for me; I don’t even allow tastin’!
