Cousins Cooking- a poem

Cousins Cooking. That’s what my cousins and I called it when we decided to cook for the whole day. It kind of worked, but on the video that my dad took, this is what you could see……….



First my cousin Isaiah
Demonstrating his flexible toes
Opening all of the cabinets,
And trying to pick his nose

Then my cousin Masha
The bravest one of us all
Walking around with the bacon grease
Trying not to let it fall

My cousin Rachel enters the scene
Grumpy as an awoken bear
“Why didn’t you wake me up?!”
Screamingly, she declares

My younger brother Steven
Is lying on the floor
He’s trying to roll some oranges
Through the kitchen door.

I stand there staring
Staying away from the bacon goo
But then I shrug my shoulders
And show that my toes are flexible too!
