The Crook of the House

Kevin Hulme

If I say it myself I'm a Wonderful Cook,

A Virtual Maestro with a Recipe Book.

But for a Pancake Mix I had no Tool

So I Stole said Item like a Thieving Fool.

As into the Store I Slyly Crept 

And strode to where the Cutlery is Kept.

How  it's Sad for such deeds for Culinary's Sake:

But  I'm  afraid it's a Whisk that I was willing to take.

          Someone's going to fork loose on you one day...(foreclose , geddit? Thought I had better make it clear as I'm not as smart at this as you)

            Hello, Kevin,

            Was your ill gotten way the day before Shrove Tuesday. You could enjoy your pancakes and confess your sin. I did'nt actually know where you were going with this one until I hit on the word 'whisk'. I'm reading this while having a coffee and enjoying the both of them.

            All the best,

            Tony.

              Happy to oblige. As for Confessions. I have to Book Ahead, as I'll be in there some time.
              Thank you for Reading.

              Kevin, as someone who enjoys a good pun, I have to admit you got me laughing! Though I suspect I'd be a terrible accomplice...I'd be laughing too hard to make a clean getaway! 🤣🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
