Chinese Food

In the early morning hours, they arrive

Chefs and cooks, ready to thrive

They prep and cook, with skill and grace

Creating dishes that will amaze

Gallons of soup stock, they must create

To ensure the flavors are truly great

Tens of kilos of rice and noodles, too

They steam and keep fresh, for me and you

Ingredients are measured, with precision and care

Each dish is crafted, with expertise rare

Sauces and seasonings, at their fingertips

They work together, as each dish they equip

The same vegetables, used in a variety of ways

The same meats, in dishes that truly amaze

They slice and dice, constantly replenishing stocks

Working tirelessly, around the clock

Their skill and organization, truly shine

As they work together, in perfect line

Efficient and organized, in every way

They make the kitchen work, day after day

It's truly amazing, to watch them in action

As they bring to life, culinary satisfaction

Their dedication and talent, truly do show

In the kitchen, where they let their creativity flow

So let's raise a glass, to the chefs and cooks

Whose hard work and talent, fills the cookbook

Their passion and skill, we truly admire

For they are the ones, who set our taste buds on fire. (Chinese Food") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
