231106: Lessons On Toast

from Leap Songs, Part 1 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

I can't cook much good lord help me
Oven is stone cold kitchen's empty
Never cared that much to learn
One too many times got burned
Lucky for me the smoke and the steam
They don't prevent me
I can still reinvent me

There's one recipe I can bake with both eyes shut
Whatever ingredients I have on hand they're just enough
One part pain
Two parts time
Mix in with patience
And the barest beginning of a smile
Yeah I can't cook much
But lessons on toast
It's plenty for dining alone

I can't cook much microwave is my best friend
Save those leftovers and heat 'em up again
My fridge has never been for food
It's just ketchup and Mountain Dew
Lucky for me all the things I don't know
Will not stop me servin'
These things I'm learnin'
