Recipe for Disaster
RECIPE FOR DISASTER?
By The Urban Poet
Remember to double check all ingredients
Take everything with a pinch of salt
However it turns out, it’s never your fault
Just stick to the recipe and be obedient
Ensure the work area is clean and dry
Then decide whether you grill or fry
If at first there’s no success then just try
Firstly take a person on face value
Sprinkle with trust and a little TLC
Add hope, dreams and ambitions
Mix together to a steady consistency
Throw in a bunch of disappointment
Bind it all together with a gold ring
Then put some buns in the oven (optional)
Next, throw everything into the mixer and hope for the best, have a brew, a fag and take a rest
If after a long hard slog it’s not worked out,
and in the recipe you’ve had grave doubts
Throw it all in the relationship recycling bin
And start the process all over again! (possibly using some old dates)

I'm a bit old for that kind of thing, Rick-putting buns in ovens: although I do a nice sausage casserole.😏
