Cooking Class (Posted for Mindful Poetry Contest, MP2012, April 2nd)

Little Willie in cooking class

Loved to wield his rubber spatula;

Was it cookies or girls that made him an Equus africanus asinus?

They agreed, he would remain a batula.

Mindful Poetry exists to promote poetry for all people. It provides a space for learners and teachers. Everyone is a learner and we can all teach one another through our efforts in writing as well as specific comments on another's poem. Embrace both roles with energy
