A cock-eyed chef’s hat
and a tired apron all askew,
a small wooden bowl and spoon
and a few little wooden bricks;
“What shall I cook for you ?" …
Stir, stir, stir!
“Pretend to eat it quickly …
say ‘It’s good , and yummy!’ …
then I’ll feed my rabbit and Baby …
I’m their Mummy!”

[IP: anything culinary]

Based on autobioraphical incidents, but not an exact one occasion! the photo of the equipment is from a while ago when the garments were much newer!

Playing cooking games is the best fun when you're a child, especially if you're allowed to use mud! 

A lovely little poem, Rhiannon and that outfit is very cute.

It does seem such fun, doesn't it, the cooking often very speedy! I think they have had mud fun in the autumn in the woods near. those nylon all-in-one suits can be very useful! Rhiannon

Lends a sense of playfulness to the poem. It sounds like you have had culinary fun with grandchildren who love to pretend cook. Then again, maybe we all do. Enjoyed,, Rhiannon. Paul

Thanks, Paul. It's lovely to see how their minds are working, and the pleasure that some basic toys, blocks etc can give! Rhiannon

It is lovely to watch small children play, and what a splendid chef's hat that is! Thank you Rhiannon (and grandchild) - it was delicious

I loved those lines so much, brings to mind how much imagination children have. I remember as a tot making mud pies for my dolls up on our then garden grassy bank, with water in the teapot for a cup of tea.

You show how wonderful it is to watch young children and how they can inspire...as in your poem.

Lovely read Rhiannon.
