Humid and sultry
am unable to stand
in the kitchen.
The heat from the stove
drains the energy
I go on .
Perspire. Get drenched.
Stare at the flame.
My eyes burn.
I am in the middle.
Cannot stop at any cost.
Continue the toil.
Being not a honky
ponky character,
I work steadfast.
Like to outperform
in every task. I
aim at perfection.
That being the hassle
I manage to complete
the cooking in earnest.
