Oh crumbs!

Oh crumbs! I cried while baking late at night,
As flour burst forth in a ghostly, powdery flight.
My cookies revolted, leaping off the tray,
Shouting, “We’re undercooked! We’re running away!”

The whisk spun circles just to mock my plight,
The oven beeped twice like it knew it was right.
A teaspoon tap-danced, the spatula fled—
Even the milk sighed, “I’m going to bed.”

But at last I triumphed with a glorious plate,
Though the treats looked… let’s call it abstractly great.
Still I munched proudly, proclaiming through the crumbs,
“I bake like a genius—just… one with numb thumbs.”

    What a delightful and hilarious baking adventure! Carol, you have a true gift for turning a kitchen disaster into a work of poetic art. Your whimsical storytelling and perfect rhythm had me smiling from start to finish. Every baker knows these “revolutions” all too well, but only a true genius can claim victory with such style and a wonderful sense of humor. Here’s to abstractly great cookies and the brilliant, proud bakers who make them!

    It’s not my thumbs that are numb just the rest of my fingers.
