Betty Crocker
I know what you’re thinking
So go ahead:
Indict me for carving myself into my kitchen,
Impeach the blank calendar hanging
on my fridge. I closed my curtains years ago,
cut out my coupons, kept the chaos away
by keeping my family full
I did what I could, and I do what I can
with these standards I cannot stand: you want
quick/super-moist/easy
Now is that a woman or a cookie?
If the question bothers you
Close the kitchen door
Crack the eggs, and find a chore
